11/ Although Social Security emails had icons and links to its social media pages, none I have received in the past encouraged posting on social media, esp with a hashtag. I have every email going back over a decade, none encouraged posting on social media, nor with a hash tag.
The latest email includes a text prompt to, "follow SSA OIG on Facebook, X, and LinkedIn to stay up to date on the latest scam tactics. Repost #SlamtheScam information on social media to keep your friends and family safe."
I'm not saying this is bad just that I noticed it.
