I know an elderly man who lives alone. He says that from time to time a nice lady visits him. She has a computer, and she asks him questions. She then helps him fill out some forms. He says she always gives him a hug before she leaves, and she always gives him some money 'for the electricity' the computer used.
He thinks she is from Medicare.
This seems very weird to me. Any ideas? I am sure it's a scam but I can't figure out what she is gaining by doing this over and over.
The only thing that occurs to me is that she is scamming medicare by filing home health claims?
