Scams & Fraud

The Social Security Impostor Scam: This new scam burst onto the scene in the latter half of 2018. A caller claiming to be from the Social Security Administration (SSA) says there is an issue with your benefits and that you must provide personal and financial information to release your payment.

SSA does not operate this way and will typically only call you if you have already been in contact with the agency about a particular matter.
