The Mt. Carmel Police Department has received an influx of complaints in regards to a social security scam. They would like to assure everyone the Social Security Office will not contact you via the telephone and asked for your personal information. They assure you that even though the caller ID on your phone says Washington or the Social Security Office, it is not the TRUE social security office. If they are asking for personal information just hang up. Once again, never give out personal information over the phone. They will continue to call you but do not provide them with information. The Vincennes Office of Social Security can be contacted at 1-(800) 772-1213 should you have questions about your social security.
