Help Us Slam the Scam Awareness Campaign

Recognize the Red Flags

• Impersonation: Scammers pretend to be officials from agencies like Social Security, the IRS, or Medicare.

• False Urgency: They claim your number is tied to a crime or your benefits are at risk.

• Threats: They use high-pressure tactics or threaten immediate arrest.

• Odd Payments: They demand payment via gift cards, wire transfers, crypto, or cash.

How to Protect Yourself

• Hang up or ignore suspicious calls, texts, or emails immediately.

• Never send money or share personal details under pressure.

• Verify facts by contacting official agencies directly through trusted numbers.

• Report fraud to the Office of the Inspector General or file a complaint at ReportFraud.ftc.gov
