Fraudulent Online Accounts
I want to begin this week's Spotlight by passing along some information from the Circuit Attorney's Office. Last week the Social Security Administration reported that possibly hundreds of thousands of Social Security Accounts might have been compromised nationwide. Dozens of people reported to the Fenton, Missouri Office that they had received letters from the Social Security Administration verifying they had recently established online accounts. The recipients of the letters, however, had not established online accounts. If you have received a letter from the Social Security Administration verifying the establishment of an online account and have never opened one yourself, you should immediately contact the Social Security Office of Inspector General at 1-800-269-0271. The office is open Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
