Do you want to report fraud, such as: misusing a Social Security number or Social Security benefits? I got a fake SSN some time ago so I could work in a restaurant.Now, I am filing paperwork for the green card process (married to US citizen). Victims receive letters, emails, even text messages saying their Social Security Number will be suspended due to fraudulent activities. The Department of Justice urges taxpayers to choose their return preparers wisely. Return preparer fraud is one of the IRS' Dirty Dozen Tax Scams. This type of text message is a scam called smishing. Smishing is a form of phishing that involves a text message or phone number. Immediately call the fraud units of the three credit reporting companies. After a disaster, scam artists, identity thieves and other criminals often attempt to take advantage of disaster survivors.
