The Audubon County Sheriff’s Office is warning area citizens about a recent phone scam.  A resident recently received a call from someone claiming to be with the Social Security Office and told the resident they were going to receive an increase in their Social Security.  They asked to confirm personal information including Social Security Number and banking information.  The Sheriff’s Office wants to remind citizens that this is a scam as the Social Security Administration does not make phone calls, nor would they ask for personal information over the phone.
