The Staunton Police Department has received several calls today from concerned citizens in reference to a telephone scam. Scammers have been calling individuals and claiming that their social security number was being “used improperly” in Texas. The scammers were claiming that the citizen needed to confirm their name, date of birth, and social security number as a result. Another caller was told there were warrants for his arrest due to his social security number being used improperly, but that he could avoid arrest by paying a fee. As a reminder, the Social Security Administration will never contact you by phone requesting personal information. Law enforcement will also never request payment in lieu of an arrest. If you receive a scam telephone call, simply hang up and do not provide any personal or payment information.
