Rebecca Rose, Senior Public Affairs Specialist in SSA’s Office of Inspector General’s Division of Communications, joined episode 5 of SSA Talks to discuss Social Security scams and how to recognize them. Recognizing the signs of a scam gives you the power to ignore criminals and report the scam.
In this episode Rebecca discusses the four basic signs of a scam. She reveals that scammers will usually: pretend to be from an agency or organization you know to gain your trust; claim that there is a problem or that they have a prize; pressure you to act immediately; tell you to pay in a specific way such as gift cards.
