Sheriff Whittington is urging people not to fall for this scam saying:
“I know people get nervous when they get these types of phone calls, especially when it comes to their social security. Scammers will typically contact our seniors, who often feel vulnerable, and I want to help them avoid becoming a victim of this fraud.”
Representatives of Social Security says if there is an issue they will send you an official letter unless you have requested a call or have ongoing business with them. The latest scam trick of using robocalls or live callers has increased. Fraudsters pretend to be government employees and claim there is identity theft or another problem with one’s Social Security number, account, or benefits.
