VDSS Warns Of EBT Scam

There’s a new scam making the rounds and it’s targeting those with Electronic Benefit Transfer cards. The Virginia Department of Social Services is warning EBT recipients scammers send texts or emails telling them their EBT card is locked and the only way to unlock the card is to share their card pin. Officials say these unsolicited messages do not come from legitimate senders and cardholders should not respond to them.
