Social Security Scam
Posted on Jul 9, 2007 by Michelle Pastor
Beware of a new scam where a caller claims to be from the Social Security Administration and offers to increase your benefits. They are using scare tactics to pressure individuals to give out their bank account numbers.
A Social Security spokesperson say the agency calls you only to respond to questions or regarding a claim you have filed.
Pass this on, especially to those that are currently receiving social security benefits and may believe that the caller can take away those benefits if they don’t give out their personal information.

Like Ben Franklin said, "they who would give up an essential liberty for temporary security, deserve neither liberty nor security. http://www.bostonteapartybook.com

I have received two calls from a caller who claims to be Social Security. I told the first one send me something in the mail. I told the second one this is some sort of scam and hung up. My telephone # is 507-4889241. Thanks
