The Saline County Sheriff's Office is warning of a Social Security scam.

Saline County Sheriff Roger Soldan said this morning that his office was notified of a letter being sent claiming to be from the Benefit Suppression Unit for Saline County. The letter stated that the recipient's Social Security benefits would be in jeopardy if $18,000 was not paid by May 15, he said.

The letter instructed the recipient to call an 800 number to make arrangements to settle the alleged debt, he added.
