I got an email from the "Social Security Administration" which said this:
"On National Slam the Scam Day and throughout the year, we give you the tools to recognize Social Security-related scams and stop scammers from stealing your money and personal information. . . .
"Visit www.ssa.gov/scam for more information . . ."
But when I copied the SSA link and repasted it in Notepad, I got THIS:

[*I broke the https to get the plain text of the link]
So, be careful when the U.S. government sends you unsolicited emails. . . .
