| The
Office of Personnel Management (OPM) was alerted by an employee
of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) of a potential
scam being perpetrated against Federal government employees.
Employees at DHS were contacted by an individual representing
himself as working for Bynum Associates. This individual claims
to be collecting information, perhaps on behalf of OPM, from
Federal employees in reference to their retirement. The information
being requested includes the employee's social security number
and other pertinent personnel data. OPM states that it has
not contracted with Bynum Associates or any other contractor
at this time to collect information of this nature from Federal
employees.
If
you receive such a call, do not provide the requested information
and please notify the PBGC Office of Inspector General by
calling the OIG Hotline: 1-800-303-9737.
For more
information about different scams, call Assistant Inspector
General for Investigations Aaron R. Jordan at ext. 3744.
For information
about reporting suspected fraud, waste or abuse to the Office
of Inspector General, please call an OIG investigator: SA
Tom Zigan at x 3104; SA Jay Hancock; SA Cornelia Green at
