Social Security Warns of the Recurrence of A Scam Going Around - Taylorville Daily News
The Social Security Administration (SSA) is warning Americans about a "prize scam” going around." This scam is actually a recurrence of an old one. The callers try to trick you into thinking you've won a prize, then ask for the account information for the bank where you deposit your Social Security benefits.
To protect you, you can now only change the account you deposit your Social Security benefits into in person or online. Reid Kamhi has written an article about this recurring scam.
The SSA provides a comprehensive list of scams and how to report them.
