Slam the Scam!! 4 Mar 2021

DHS OIG Participates in the 

2nd Annual National "Slam the Scam" Day


On March 4, 2021, DHS OIG joins the Social Security Administration (SSA) OIG and other Federal agencies for the 2nd Annual National “Slam the Scam” Day, to raise public awareness of government imposter telephone scams across the United States.


We want to remind you this “Slam the Scam” Day that if you are contacted through social media, do not provide any personal information. DHS and FEMA will never contact you using Facebook or Instagram. FEMA does not request grant-processing fees for benefits and will not request that you contribute to causes or charities using gifts cards or CashApp payments. FEMA does not issue dividends. We encourage the public to report these scams to Facebook and Instagram.
