Social Security issued an alert warning citizens about fraudulent messages circulating in its name. These messages contain links that direct users to fake pages, designed to deceive and steal personal information.
The entity recommends vigilance to citizens regarding these scam attempts, which use the name and image of Social Security to appear legitimate. This is a new type of phone scam that has been proliferating.
The particularly important recommendation that Social Security makes to citizens is that they should not click on suspicious links and should be wary of unsolicited messages, even when they appear to come from official entities.
