medicare card fraud

My mother was asked to but a medicare discount card by a door to door person. Seems suspicious to me. Is it a scam?

Confusion surrounding the new and complex Medicare prescription drug benefit makes the elderly susceptible to scams--

Scam artists have been selling fake Medicare discount cards to seniors in Idaho and Georgia and other states, and is certainly only the beginning of such activities that will be popping up all over the country.

Avoid any such sale and call medicare officials locally to report this.
