Scammers continue to attempt to trick consumers into giving away their personal information including their Social Security number. The Federal Trade Commission has received several reports about phone calls from scammers claiming to be from the Social Security Administration. They have many different tactics to convince you to give them your personal information such as claiming there was a computer issue or even creating a fake website that mimics the Social Security Administration’s website. Be very selective when it comes to who you give your (and your children’s) Social Security number to.
