Please note that the legitimate ObamaCare website is located at http://www.healthcare.gov/ and you should not sign-up, enroll or register with any other website.

Before you enter any information while registering for ObamaCare, please ensure that your web browser address bar looks like the following:

One of the fake ObamaCare websites that thousands of persons have already visited is located at this website address:
hxxp://www.obama-care.us/.

If you enter your Social Security number, personal, health and other sensitive information on this bogus website, it will be sent to the cybercriminals behind this scam.

These cybercriminals may sell your information to marketers, scammers or use it to scam you.

With thousands of Americans going online to register for ObamaCare, most of which are not tech-savvy, may end up on one of these fake websites when searching for the ObamaCare or HealthCare website. This is frightening because so many people may end up being victims of identity theft and other illegal schemes.

So, only go to https://www.healthcare.gov/ to register for ObamaCare and if you were tricked into entering your personal, health and other information on some fake websites, please contact the police.
