Phone Scam - Calls about social security hitting the area

The Sheriff's Office in Bates and Vernon County has received multiple reports of phone calls where the person is claiming to be from the Social Security Administration. They are claiming that benefits have been suspended and prompt you to "fix" the issue over the phone. 

This is a scam. Please contact someone with the Social Security Administration if you have questions about your account, but do not respond to anyone who calls and wants you to give them information about your account over the phone.
