Did you get a call, email, or text message saying you might be eligible for a government grant or program? Nobody from the government will ever get in touch to demand your Social Security number to see if you qualify. Only a scammer will. ejcc.acl.gov/imposters

Do you know the anatomy of an imposter scam? Fraudsters impersonate trusted organizations, fabricate a critical account issue & pressure you to act immediately. Don't let urgency override your caution. Stop, verify, stay safe. Learn more: http://ejcc.acl.gov/imposters

Did someone call, text, or email and say you have to pay the government immediately, in a specific way, or you’ll be in trouble? That’s a government imposter. No one from the government will ever demand payment only with gift cards, wire transfers, cryptocurrency, or a payment app. Only a scammer will. ejcc.acl.gov/imposters

If someone says they’re from the government and tells you to move your money or put it in a federal locker, that’s an imposter scam. No one from the government will ever tell you that your money isn’t safe and you must move it to “protect it.” Only a scammer will. ejcc.acl.gov/imposters
