Today is National Slam the Scam Day!
This day was started to raise awareness by helping the public combat social security related scams.
Be prepared; Real government officials will NEVER:
• Threaten arrest or legal action against you unless you immediately send money.
• Promise to increase your benefits or resolve a problem if you pay a fee or move your money into a protected account.
• Require payment with gift cards, prepaid debit cards, wire transfer, Internet currency, or by mailing cash.
• Try to gain your trust by providing fake “documentation,” false “evidence,” or the name of a real government official.
This list is just part of how scammers try to trick the public
Don't let it happen to you!
