FYI-Social Security Email Scam

[Guest guest]

The Social Security Administration (SSA) posted a warning about a new e-mail scam, with the e-mail subject, “Cost-of-Living for 2007 update.†The e-mail appears to be from the Social Security Administration. Then, readers are directed to a Web site that looks like SSA’s Web site, asking them to confirm their identities by providing a Social Security number, bank account information, and credit card information.
