🚨 SCAM ALERT: Fake Health Insurance Websites Are Fooling Consumers 🚨

Searching online for health insurance or Medicare information? Be careful before clicking the first result you see.

The Federal Trade Commission recently warned that scammers and misleading companies are paying for ads that appear at the top of search results, making them look like official government websites. These impostor sites may collect your personal information, charge unnecessary fees, or steer you toward plans that may not meet your needs.

✅ Before you click:
• Look for the "Ad" or "Sponsored" label.
• Verify the website address ends in .gov for official government sites.
• Scroll past paid advertisements and review other search results.
• Never provide personal information until you've confirmed the website is legitimate.

Protect yourself and your loved ones by staying informed and sharing this warning.
