SALT LAKE CITY — Thursday is “National Slam the Scam Day” and the Social Security Administration wants people to look out for some important red flags.
“The scammer is pretending to be from an agency or organization that you know, in order to gain your trust,” Cole explained. “There's also going to be some sort of problem or prize.”“They threaten you and tell you that you need to take immediate action in order for your benefits not to be suspended, or for your social security number to be locked," Cole said.
Experts are also seeing a scam where someone requests a victim’s medicare number to issue a new or replacement card. Cole also wants to stop people from giving scammers a chance to steal your identity straight from you.
