We Help You With Medicare.

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 2 ...

The caller presents you with a conditional prize. The old Nigerian prince scam would first require you to send two or three thousand dollars; then, they would send you a million or two. As inflation continues to pinch senior adults’ pocketbooks, this kind of send-money-to-get-money scam will get viciously more

tracks. A legitimate offer or transaction will offer multiple methods of payment. AND ALWAYS REMEMBER, the IRS, Social Security, and Medicare will never make first contact by telephone. If any of these agencies need to communicate with you, first contact will always begin with a letter. Anyone calling to inform you of a “problem with your Social Security file,” is a scammer! About all those Medicare calls and ads offering

appealing. If it sounds too good to be true — it is! The caller pressures you into immediate action.

Preying upon our human tendency to not want to miss out, the scam caller demands you take action right now. SCAM! Any legitimate offer or transaction will still be valid a few days from now. Any valid transaction does not require the caller to become increasingly rude and pushy when you don’t immediately cooperate. Just hang up! The caller demands you pay in a specific way. The scammer has chosen a payment method that is easiest to get away with their crime and cover their

“all the benefits you’re missing out on.” While one or two of those benefits may be partially available in your area, not all those benefits are available everywhere. These phone calls, TV ads, and mailers are all

designed to get you to call for information. Your call results in you becoming a lead that is then sold to tens or hundreds of

agents, resulting in even more calls. If you are happy with your plan, ignore these attempts. If you have questions, call us at 805‑646-6409 or contact us through our website, www.LT-ins.com, for more information.

MATCHA-COVERED STRAWBERRIES

Ingredients

• •

1 ¼ cups chopped white chocolate 1 tsp matcha powder, ceremonial grade

14 fresh strawberries, rinsed and patted dry

Directions

1. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside. 2. In a microwave-safe bowl, microwave the white chocolate in 15–20-second intervals, stirring in between until it’s completely melted. 3. Add matcha powder to the melted white chocolate and stir until thoroughly mixed. Hold a strawberry by its leaves and dip it into the matcha chocolate mixture until it’s almost entirely covered. Shake off any excess chocolate, then place the matcha-covered strawberry on a baking sheet and let it harden. Repeat with remaining strawberries. 4.
