Identify the Scam

If you receive a call, text, email, letter, or message on social media that:

  • Threatens to suspend your Social Security number, even if they have part or all of your Social Security number
  • Warns of arrest or 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

It is a SCAM!
