Seaside Police give reminder to be aware of phone scams
Seaside Signal
The Seaside Police Department and other
Clatsop County Law Enforcement agen-
cies continue to receive a number of reports
regarding several different familiar phone
and email scams.
The most active scam right now is the
Social Security scam and citizens can lose
thousands of dollars to these con artists.
In the Social Security scheme, the caller
claims to be with the Social Security Admin-
istration and often provides a name and
badge number. The caller claims that the vic-
tim’s social security number has been com-
promised and connected with some criminal
activity.
The caller may also claim the victim’s
bank account is in danger, and that the victim
must quickly go to a bank, take out money
and put it into gift cards.

The call usually begins as a recorded
phone call that states your social security
number has been suspended and you will
lose all of your benefi ts.
The recording prompts the receiver of the
call to press a number on the telephone to
be connected to a live person. If you do not
respond, they threaten that your Social Secu-
rity number will be permanently blocked, or
your bank accounts will be seized.
Another scam used an email that was
designed to look like it came from Social
Security. It provided information about
the annual cost-of-living-adjustment and
directed readers to a website designed to look
like Social Security’s site so people could
“update their information” — valuable infor-
mation to identity thieves and criminals.
Here are some helpful tips to remember:
The Social Security Administration will
never call or email to threaten your benefi ts
or tell you to wire money, send cash or put

You do not have to verify your social
security number, date of birth or other private
information to anyone who initiates a call or
email with you.
Never give any part of your social security
number, bank account information or credit
card number to anyone who contacts you.
Remember, a scammer can duplicate the
actual phone number of the Social Security
Administration by using a special application
or computer driven program. If you are wor-
ried the call may be a scam hang-up imme-
diately. The best practice is to only give per-
sonal identifying information if you initiate
the call fi rst and after you have verifi ed the
phone number.
The real phone number for the Social
Security Administration is 800-772-1213. To
report phone scams, call the Federal Trade
Commission at 1-877-FTC-HELP or visit
