North Middleton Township Police Department wants to warn residents of a Social Security Scam going around the area.  If you get a phone call claiming your Social Security Number was compromised please be aware that this is a SCAM.  The pre-recorded message wants you to verify your information.  By doing so you are giving the scammers your information. 

Scammers are pretending to be government employees.  Scammers will try to scare and trick you into giving them your personal information and money.  They may threaten you or your family and may demand immediate payment to avoid arrest or other legal action.

DON’T BE FOOLED!  IF YOU RECEIVE A SUSPICIOUS CALL:

1. HANG UP!
2. DO NOT give them money or personal information!
3. Report the scam at OIG.SSA.GOV

Social Security may call you in some situations but they will never threaten you, suspend your SS#, demand immediate payment, require any payment by cash, gift card, pre-paid debit cards, or wire transfers.  If you receive a questionable call, hang up and report it at OIG.SSA.GOV.  Don’t be embarrassed to report if you shared personal information or suffered a loss.  Please share this information with others.
