If you get a call from the government about your Affordable Care Act card - hang up on them. Why you’re not interested...

The government is on the phone...

...and you’re among the first Americans selected to receive your Affordable Care Act insurance card. Hang up the phone! It’s a scam. These calls are sweeping the nation and they are actually from identity thieves hoping to get your personal data. They will ask for your name, address, phone number and bank account.

The Federal Trade Commission would like you to report any such call. You can fill out a form online or call them. Go to FTC.gov and click on Consumer Protection.
