Nevada Attorney General Aaron D. Ford warns consumers about a growing phone scam involving individuals impersonating the Social Security Administration, to get victims’ Social Security numbers, personal information and access to financials. These scammers are able to spoof or impersonate the Social Security Administration’s caller ID to appear more legitimate. Oftentimes, the initial call is a serious, pre-recorded person attempting to create a sense of urgency, to contact the so-called Social Security Administration. The Social Security Administration will never call and ask you to confirm your Social Security Number, ask you to pay or threaten your benefits. The tip: hang up and report the information to the Social Security Administration’s Office of the Inspector General on its website.
