(KLZA)--Frontier Bank in Falls City is warning the community about an increase in fraudulent social security activity. 

Both telephone and email scammers are pretending to be government employees, and may threaten you and demand immediate payment to avoid arrest or other legal action.

If you receive such a call, hang  up immediately and do not give away any personal information.   The Social Security Administration will never call individuals directly.  All correspondence will occur via mail. 

If you receive a call like this and have questions you should call your bank or local law enforcement.
