Social Security Warns Of Scam

From KOLO-TV:

Watch out for callers who try to get your personal information, Social Security warns.

The latest telephone scam appears to be targeted at the Latino community. In this scam, the caller tells beneficiaries that they will be receiving additional payments from Social Security. All they need to do is verify their bank account information and Social Security Number in order to receive these funds. The caller also told beneficiaries that they would not receive the money unless they provided the requested information by a specified date.

As a general rule, Social Security will not call you for your personal information such as your Social Security Number or banking information.

"If something about a call doesn't feel right, it probably isn't legitimate," Social Security Regional Communications Director Leslie Walker warned.
