Latest SCAM Dear Colleagues, This could have occurred anywhere, but it has been happening recently in southeastern MA. An elder answered the phone and was told her Medicare card will be invalid as of January 1, 2012, unless she gave (the caller) the checking account number attached to her social security deposits. She did so. Luckily the elder also told her daughter, who promptly went to the bank before any damage was done. The teller told her that 2 other seniors had been in on the same day with the same scam. MEDICARE is NOT calling anybody!! Do NOT give your Medicare # or your social security # to anyone unless YOU have initiated the call! If you feel that something is “not quite right” with a phone call, simply hang up. We suggest you contact your local police department or town which may then initiate a ‘reverse” 911 call (or internet email setup) that can inform people quickly throughout the community about this scam. If you have any questions or concerns regarding Medicare, please call 1-800-MEDICARE (1-800-633-4223).

Oil Heat Program Our Oil Heat Program for the 2011-2012 season has begun.

Please call Citizens Energy at 1-877-JOE-4-Oil (1-877-563-4645) to receive an application. Please note that we are experiencing an extremely high volume of calls. Call center hours are Monday-Friday, 9AM-5PM Eastern Standard Time. The Citizens Energy Oil Heat Program has delivered millions of gallons of discount home heating oil to poor and elderly households in Massachusetts and other cold weather states since 1979. This unique program helps protect needy families from volatile heating oil prices, which often leave households having to choose between heating the home and paying for other life essentials, such as food, health care, or clothing.

An emergency shelter for Clinton and Lancaster residents seeking assistance is available at the Atlantic Union College Gymnasium located on George Hill Road in Lancaster.
