The Department of Human Services is warning of a potential phone scam targeting individuals who receive Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program benefits.
Officials say scammers are calling individuals and asking for them to call back and enter their SNAP account numbers. The calls have been coming from three specific 800 numbers.
The scam phone numbers include:
- 888-273-6954
- 844-239-5136
- 888-592-8936
Benefit recipients are also reminded to lock their EBT cards when they are not in use to protect their benefits from theft and skimming.
If you believe you received a suspicious call, hang up immediately and call the DHS fraud tip line at 1-844-DHS-TIPS (1-844-347-8477). .
