Felinton Elder Law & Estate Planning Centers Founder, Mindy Felinton Talks Social Security Scam

DELRAY BEACH, Fla. - Feb. 27, 2020 - PRLog -- Elder Care Attorney, Mindy Felinton helps spread the word about the Social Security scam that is costing seniors millions and millions of dollars.

Delray Beach, FL. February 27, 2020: Mindy Felinton, founder of Felinton Elder Law & Estate Planning Centers, has posted a new article on her law firm's website entitled "Protect Yourself And Loved Ones Against The Growing Social Security Scam," in which Ms. Felinton encourages readers to share the information about the scam.

Felinton writes, "I've heard recently from some of my clients that they received an official email notice from the Social Security Administration (SSA) warning about imposter scams that are bilking seniors out of millions of dollars."

As Felinton reminds her readers, "Targeting seniors has always been a strategy of cons and scammers throughout the ages." According to Felinton, "Seniors tend to be more vulnerable than younger age groups. Many have cognitive issues and are easily frightened which scammers are counting on." Felinton adds, "With caller ID and many mobile phone companies now identifying potential scam and marketing calls, the best idea is simply not to answer any phone call unless it is from someone in your contact list. If you do answer a call and the person says that your Social Security Number has been suspended, hang up immediately."
