Scammers prey on fear of identity theft to steal your identity
The Coshocton Tribune is reporting of a scam where emails are being sent that are supposedly from the “Social Security Administration” that alerts you that your identity has been stolen, and sends you to a phony “official SSA” website where they ask you to verify your social security number, bank info, etc. You know the drill. DON’T DO IT!
Once directed to the phony site the individual is asked to confirm their identity with “Social Security and bank information.” Specific information about the individual’s credit cad number, expiration date and PIN number is then requested.
Whether on the agency’s Web site or by phone, Social Security will never ask you for your credit card information or your PIN number.
