Frequently asked questions
How can I tell if a message from the IRS or Social Security is real?
The IRS and Social Security usually contact people by mail first. They do not demand immediate payment by gift card, wire transfer or cryptocurrency, and they do not threaten arrest. If you are unsure, contact the agency using the phone number or address on its official .gov website.
Where can I report a scam?
Report fraud to the Federal Trade Commission at ReportFraud.ftc.gov. Social Security impersonation scams can also be reported to the Social Security Office of the Inspector General at oig.ssa.gov.
How often is this page updated?
