SCAM UPDATE- New Social Security Scam

A new scam uses a new technique to collect your personal information. A scammer calls from the 323-area code, posing as a Social Security Administration (SSA) employee. They tell you that you are due a cost-of-living adjustment that increases your Social Security benefit. To receive your increase, you will be asked to verify personal information such as your Social Security Number, name, date of birth, parents’ name, etc.

This is another scam that you need to hang up on if they call.
