Social Security Administration Scam Awareness Information

The United States Social Security Administration has put together a collection of information dedicated to helping the American public avoid social-security-related scams.  Some of the highlights of this collection can be found down below.  To view the full Social Security Administration scam awareness website, click here.

It is important to note that Social Security employees do contact the public by telephone for business purposes. Ordinarily, the agency calls people who have recently applied for a Social Security benefit, are already receiving payments and require an update to their record, or have requested a phone call from the agency. If there is a problem with a person’s Social Security number or record, Social Security will typically mail a letter.
