4 Things the Real Social Security Administration Will Never Ask You For

Описание: The real Social Security Administration will never do these four things — and knowing them is the fastest way to spot a scam before it costs you anything.

In this video:
Why the SSA will never ask you to confirm your Social Security number over the phone
Why any request for gift cards, cryptocurrency, wire transfers, or cash is always a scam
How real urgency and threats differ from how the actual SSA operates
Why being asked to keep a call secret from your family is one of the clearest red flags

This video is based on the Social Security Administration's own published fraud-prevention guidance and recent warnings from the SSA Office of the Inspector General. If you ever receive a suspicious call, hang up and call the SSA directly at 1-800-772-1213, or report it at oig.ssa.gov/report.
