National Slam the Scam Day 

March 6, 2025 

On National Slam the Scam Day and throughout the year, we give you the tools to recognize Social Security-related scams and stop scammers from stealing your money and personal information.  

Help protect your loved ones and people in your community this Slam the Scam Day by:  

• Learning about the latest scams. Information can empower you to quickly recognize a scam.

  Signs of a scam include:

• An unexpected problem or offer of a prize or benefit increase,

• Pressure to act immediately, and

• A request for an unusual payment like cryptocurrency, gift cards, gold bars, and wire transfers, even with the promise of keeping your money “safe.”

• Reporting scams as soon as possible. Victims shouldn’t be embarrassed if they shared personal information or suffered a financial loss. We are all vulnerable. 

• Sharing our Scam Alert fact sheet and helping educate others about how to protect themselves.   

Report Social Security-related scams to the Social Security Administration Office of the Inspector General (OIG).
