    Image of text that says “As U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of Illinois, I strongly support the confirmation of Todd Blanche as Attorney General. Under his leadership, U.S. Attorneys across the country are laser-focused on the right priorities: combating violent crime, dismantling gangs, targeting transnational criminal organizations, and securing our communities.

    Did you get a call, email, or text message saying you might be eligible for a government grant or program? Nobody from the government will ever get in touch to demand your Social Security number to see if you qualify. Only a scammer will. #StopGovImposters ejcc.acl.gov/imposters

With text that reads "Never Ever Never EVER will someone from the government say: "We need your Social Security number to see if you qualify for a government grant."

    We are joining other government agencies and organizations across the country to raise awareness about imposter scams. Did someone call, text, or email and say you have to pay the government immediately, in a specific way, or you’ll be in trouble? That’s a government imposter. No
