Medicare imposter suspected in Oconee

A male described as clean cut and well dressed is suspected of having tried to pull a scam early yesterday afternoon at a home near High Falls Park and the Stamp Creek Landing. Oconee Sheriff’s Office quotes the resident there as saying his visitor held himself out to be a Medicare specialist and then proceeded to ask for personal identifying information. The suspected imposter further claimed he had gotten the resident’s information from a list of Medicare recipients that he paid for. Jimmy Watt, public information officer for the Sheriff’s Office, urges everyone to never allow a stranger into your home who does not provide proper identification and furthermore do not give personal identifying information to such a person.
