We have been made aware that scammers are using our phone number, claiming to be the social security office. Please do not give any personal information to these people. We are not, and will not ever, call you with anything to do with social security issues. That is not what we do, and we are in no way affiliated with the social security office. If you receive a phone call from our number, claiming to be anything other than Fort Smith Behavioral Health, please let us know. We have filed a complaint with the FCC, and although they said that we unfortunately cannot stop the calls, we can at least make people aware of the issue. Thank you for your understanding, and again, DO NOT give out your personal information.
