Beware of fraudulent spam email being sent to senior citizens allegedly from Social Security.

They are scammers trying to steal identity information. Ill post a photo off the document they send.

If you have any questions about the authenticity of any email or communication from the Social Security Office, you may email the Federal Benefits Unit at the US Consulate in Guadalajara at fbu.guadalajara@ssa.gov

If you have fallen for the scam then you want to alert your bank(s) as well as put an alert on file with the 3 credit bureaus using the following links:
