Pennie 26 Report Share Posted December 7, 2006 Hi, Some of you may be aware of this scam but if your not be sure to read this. You might ven want to print it out & post it around the facility & send it out in your newsletter. Protect Residents from E-mail Scam Senior living residents who use e-mail may be at high risk for identity theft via a new e-mail scam claiming to be from the Social Security Administration (SSA). Since the e-mail message began circulating last month, the SSA has issued a warning. The e-mail message, with the subject line "Cost-of- Living for 2007 update," claims to be from the SSA and directs recipients to a phony Web site to provide personal information such as a social security number and bank account and credit card information. To report receipt of this e-mail message to the SSA, call 800/269-0271. A Public Fraud Reporting form also is available online at www.social security.gov/oig. more about SSA warning Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
