Social Security Administration Declares March 7th As National Slam The Scam Day

The Social Security Administration Office has designated March 7th, as National Slam the Scam Day, urging vigilance against ongoing criminal efforts to defraud individuals. Perpetrators persist in impersonating government agencies, including the SSA, in schemes aimed at acquiring personal information or money.

Scammers utilize various channels—calls, emails, texts, letters, and social media messages—often assuming the identities of legitimate SSA or Office of the Inspector General personnel. They employ tactics such as using genuine names and providing falsified proofs to deceive targets.

Recognizing the hallmark signs of scams empowers individuals to disregard fraudulent attempts and report them promptly. Typically, scams involve impostors gaining trust, fabricating problems or prizes, pressuring immediate action, and specifying payment methods.

With awareness and informed action, individuals can thwart scammers’ efforts, safeguarding themselves and their communities against financial exploitation.
