Yahoo Finance is reporting there’s another ‘Medicare’ text message scam doing the rounds, this time advising people they have ‘lost’ their Medicare card.

Services Australia said it was aware of scammers texting people and incorrectly telling them their Medicare card had expired. The text message asks them to click a link to update their details.
The user is then transferred to a phishing site.

“This message isn’t real. You don’t need to do anything when your Medicare card is about to expire. We’ll send you a new card about four to eight weeks before it expires,” Services Australia said.
