I was watching the news from back home on the internet last night and they had a story about scammer stealing social security check by using SS numbers and setting up online accounts with the SS Administration (this only works if you haven't already set up an online account with the SS Administration), they then use the account they set up to redirect payments. The people who had this happen to them found out when they received a letter from SS about the online account they set up, since the "local news" didn't do a good job fully investigating this story I'm not sure how many people actual had payments redirected or what kind of ordeal people had to go through to get it all fixed.
