"Slam Scams"-Message from the Social Security Administration

Throughout the year, the Social Security Administration gives you the tools to recognize Social Security-related scams and stop scammers from stealing your money and personal information. 

Help protect your loved ones and people in your community by: 

-Educating them about government imposter scams. Let them know they shouldn’t be embarrassed to report if they shared personal information or suffered a financial loss. It is important to report the scam as quickly as possible. 

-Sharing our Scam Alert fact sheet and helping educate others about how to protect themselves.
