NASHVILLE — Scam artists have seemingly found a friend in Obamacare.
Reports are emerging that shysters are using Tennessee residents’ relative lack of knowledge about the new health care law to defraud them.
Scam artists, for example, are making calls claiming they need Social Security numbers to sign people up for a new Obamacare insurance card, according to a statement from the Tennessee Department of Commerce and Insurance.
“We’ve been made aware of one scam, in particular,” said TDCI spokeswoman Kate Abernathy.
