Did you get a call, email, or text message saying you might be eligible for a government grant or program? Nobody from the government will ever get in touch to demand your Social Security number to see if you qualify. Only a scammer will. ejcc.acl.gov/imposters

Did someone call, text, or email and say you have to pay the government immediately, in a specific way, or you’ll be in trouble? That’s a government imposter. No one from the government will ever demand payment only with gift cards, wire transfers, cryptocurrency, or a payment app. Only a scammer will. ejcc.acl.gov/imposters

Nursing homes are an important place for older folks to live and thrive. However, some dishonest facilities (even some associated with national chains) have taken to fraudulent billing. If you run across any of these examples, please report them to TN SMP 1-866-836-7677

If someone says they’re from the government and tells you to move your money or put it in a federal locker, that’s an imposter scam. No one from the government will ever tell you that your money isn’t safe and you must move it to “protect it.” Only a scammer will. ejcc.acl.gov/imposters

Federal agencies will never EVER call, text, or email to demand personal or financial information, ask for money, or tell you to move money to “protect it.” If this happens to you, report it.
