Urgent Notice
SCAM Alert:
SCAMMERS OFFER PHONY SNAP APPLICATION ASSISTANCE
There
have been reports of individuals placing ads on the internet,
sometimes located on the side of legitimate articles, offering
assistance for filling out SNAP applications.
The links will take you to another website where you may be
asked to provide personal information, including credit card
information. Do NOT provide this information. It can be
used to allow other individuals to make unauthorized purchases
on your credit card, or gain access to your bank accounts.
If you see any ad on the internet offering SNAP application
assistance with a corresponding link, don’t click on it. Never
provide any personal information, including credit card
information on an unsecure Web Site. SNAP employees or service
providers will never ask you for credit card information or for
anything not on your State Agency application.
If you have already fallen victim to this or a similar scam,
contact your credit card company immediately. You may also
choose to file a police report. For more information on identity
