Yonkers Insider: Chair of Westchester County Board of Legislators, Ben Boykin: Social Security Fraud Scheme.

Dear Friends and Neighbors:

Please be on the alert for a potential scam aimed at senior citizens. The document, which looks like an official notice from Westchester County, threatens a levy against Social Security benefits to satisfy a tax liability.  We believe that it is part of an attempted fraud perpetrated against residents of the County who may have tax liens on file with the County Clerk’s office.  If you receive this type of notice, do not respond to it.

Please forward this e-news to family and friends who may be interested in this information.

Sincerely,
