Anywhere there’s money and personal information involved, scams will soon arise.

For a massive program like Social Security, scams are common and impact millions each year.

While some of them are decades old, others are more inventive and take advantage of today’s hot topics and technology. Many scams arose as a result of the confusion caused by COVID, and the digital transformation of this program has created more opportunities for people to be victimized.

The Social Security Administration has designated an entire week in March to promote action against these issues. What’s the key to avoid being ripped off? It’s education — the more you know, the harder it is to be deceived by the scam artists.
