IPD Warns of Social Security Scam
Recently the Ithaca Police Department has learned that individuals claiming to be from the U.S. Inspector General’s Office have contacted Tompkins County residents claiming that the residents owe money to the Social Security Administration. When a citizen questions the authenticity of the phone call, the scammers offer to have a local policeofficer call the citizen back. A different scammer will then call the citizen back, claiming to be an Ithaca Police Department Officer and gives an actual name of an IPD Officer. Additionally, the phone number that shows up displays is the Ithaca Police Department phone number, 607-272-9973. The Ithaca Police Department would like to remind everyone that law enforcement will never call a citizen and demand money be paid for a fine, or violation. The IPD would like to remind area residents to be cautious of such phone calls, no matter how convincing they may seem to be.
