Older people are being warned about a new scam that could make them lose a lot of money. The Social Security Office of the Inspector General (OIG) said this week that fake callers are pretending to be from Social Security to trick seniors.
Around 74 million people are expecting Social Security checks this month, and some are even expecting two, as stated in the report by The Mirror. The scam uses fake letters that look official, with U.S. Supreme Court letterhead and forged signatures of Chief Justice John Roberts and Associate Justice Sonia Sotomayor.
The letters ask people to give personal information and send money. The OIG said the letters are personally addressed and claim the recipient is involved in legal proceedings and criminal charges.
