If you have diabetes and you get a call from someone offering free glucose meters, diabetic test strips, lancets and other supplies, take note: You are almost certainly talking to a scam artist.

Hang up, says the federal government, which has put out a new fraud alert about such calls. Many of the scammers pose as employees of Medicare or legitimate diabetes groups, says the Office of Inspector General in the Department of Health and Human Services.

Surely they have the same mind set as us nothing in this life is free, certainly would be mindful if someone rung me up offering me free strips but im sure if someone has to pay for there strips they could easily fall for this.
