Election Scam Warning

This scam warning is posted on the web site of the Maryland State Board of Elections:

Identity Theft Warning

The State Board of Elections has received information about a new identity theft scam with an elections theme. A caller, who claims to be with a government agnency or public or partisan interest group, tells the voter that there is something wrong with the voter's voter registration and asks the voter to verify the information, especially the social security number and date of birth. DO NOT answer these questions. No State or local agency will be making any such calls. If you do receive a call or inquiry or have a question about your voter registration status, call the State Board of Elections or your County Board of Elections.

Pass the word around and warn your friends - Jim
