Did you get a call, email, or text message saying you might be eligible for a govt grant or program? Nobody from the govt will ever get in touch to demand your Social Security number to see if you qualify. Only a scammer will. Learn more: bit.ly/3QKOJqI #StopGovImposters
Federal Trade Commission warns: "Never EVER will the FTC say: 'We need your Social Security number to see if you qualify for a government grant.' ONLY A SCAMMER WILL." The image includes icons of a credit card and an exclamation mark, with a hashtag #StopGovImposters at the bottom.
