Scams, Identity Theft & Fraud Protection: Stay Safe, Stay Informed

Fraud can derail your access to vital support. At MyAidClaim.com, we help you stay alert and take action against scams that target aid applicants.

General

Scammers often pose as government agencies—sending fake emails, texts, or calls claiming to be from the IRS, Social Security, or unemployment offices. We help you distinguish between real and fake communications, so you never give out sensitive information to the wrong source.

If you suspect your identity has been stolen, we guide you through reporting it to the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), freezing your credit, and replacing stolen IDs or benefit cards. We also help you notify government agencies if a scammer has filed false claims in your name.

Online safety is essential. Our resources include tips on secure browsing, creating strong passwords, and verifying the legitimacy of websites before entering your data. We also cover common tactics scammers use on social media and messaging apps, like impersonation and phishing links.
