There are scam letters being received by taxpayers from the IRS on official-looking letterhead. If you happen to receive one, ensure you owe taxes and are sending the funds to a legitimate IRS address and not the one listed on the letter. If you are unsure if you have received a fraudulent letter, please contact our office.

Scammers want your Social Security number because it is the key to identity theft. The Social Security Administration estimates that scammers call thousands of Americans every day trying to trick people into giving them their personal information or to get them to send them money. Don't be fooled! Stay Informed.​

*Unsolicited calls from someone claiming to work for SSA

If someone calls you and claims to be from the Social Security Administration and you did not have an appointment for the call scheduled, just hang up.

If a number is left on your answering machine by a robocaller don't return the call. If you need to call the Social Security Administration, call the customer service line at 800-772-1213. But be aware that scammers can spoof this number so if it appears on your caller ID when someone is calling, don't assume it is the SSA.

Never send your Social Security Number via email. The SSA never requests information this way.
