While scams may sound obvious in hindsight, these calls are very tricky. Remember, the Social Security Administration (SSA) will never call to threaten your benefits or ask you to wire money, give them gift card numbers, or send cash. Even if the caller ID says it’s the SSA, if you are concerned call the SSA back directly at 1-800-772-1213 to confirm. For more details and to listen to one of the scam calls, click here.
