The wife at sex club sex videoSocial Security Administration announced last month that it’s implementing Cost-of-Living Adjustments (COLA) for the agency’s 72.5 million beneficiaries and Supplemental Security Income recipients. With the 2.5% bump expected in January and informational letters going out next month, scammers are already trying to take advantage of the change, according to SSA officials.
"Be wary of any communication that asks you to take extra steps or provide personal details for this increase, as it’s likely a scammer attempting to steal your identity or financial assets," said Acting Inspector General for the Social Security Administration Hannibal "Mike" Ware, in a statement. "Our office is dedicated to protecting the public and deterring these criminals from exploiting honest, hardworking people."

However, Ware had warned that you should not hand over personal information to anyone claiming they’re a representative of the SSA who needs your social security number or bank account to move forward with the COLA. Report any suspected fraud to the SSA’s Office of the Inspector General via their website (https://oig.ssa.gov/report/).
SSA officials warn all recipients to be on the lookout for "fake calls, texts, emails, websites, messages on social media, or letters in the mail."
While the agency typically contacts people via mail regarding updates and questions, they will call people on occasion, according to the SSA anti-scam site, especially if they "recently applied for a Social Security benefit, are already receiving payments and require an update to their record, or have requested a phone call from the agency."
The agency produced a video about SSA agency imposters who will call recipients and tell them of armed marshals or sheriffs’ deputies on their way to arrest them for some supposed malfeasance. One SSA recipient described being told by scammers to purchase Google Play cards to avoid arrest. When receiving a call purportedly from the SSA where threats or demands of money are made — or prizes offered — get off the phone, talk to someone you trust, and do a search on the internet.
“SSA will not threaten you, demand your personal information or instant payment, email or text you pictures or documents, or use a real government official’s name to gain your trust,” according to another anti-scam video from the agency. “Social Security does not accept payments by gift card, pre-paid debit card, internet currency, or by mailing cash.”
