=govdelivery> Your Social Security Number isn't suspended. Ever.
by Lisa Lake
Consumer Education Specialist, FTC
A caller says that he's from the government and your Social Security number
(SSN) has been suspended. He sounds very professional. So you should do
exactly what he says to fix things.right?
Wrong.

s/> Don't Be Misled by False Medicare or Social Security Ads
by Jim Borland, Acting Deputy Commissioner for Communications
Online and otherwise, there's a lot of information out there, and sometimes
it's difficult to tell what sources are credible. With millions of people
relying on Social Security, scammers target audiences who are looking for
program and benefit information.
The law that addresses misleading Social Security and Medicare advertising
prohibits people or non-government businesses from using words or emblems
that mislead others. Their advertising can't lead people to believe that
they represent, are somehow affiliated with, or endorsed or approved by
Social Security or the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (Medicare).
