There does not seem to be any time frame that these crooks aren’t working to scam the public. If it’s too
good to be true or if anyone is threatening you in any way – hang up! You can always call your local police department to ask questions. The information below came via email from the Social Security Administration.
If you receive a call, text, or email that…
• Threatens to suspend your Social Security number, even if they have part or all of your Social Security number
• Warns of arrest of legal action
• Demands or requests immediate payment
• Requires payment by gift card, prepaid debit card,
• Internet currency, or by mailing cash
• Pressures you for personal information
• Requests secrecy
• Threatens to seize your bank account
• Promises to increase your Social Security benefit
• Tries to gain your trust by providing fake “documentation,” false “evidence,” or the name of a real government official
