Beware Social Security Scam Letters
There is a letter going around claiming to be from the Social Security Administration stating your Social Security number is “being suspended” due to fraudulent activity.
The letter claims your account will be suspended in the next 24-hours unless the recipient calls the provided phone number.
Please note:
● the date on these letters are in a European date format (DD/MM/YYYY)
● the letter is not addressed to a specific individual
● Social Security numbers cannot be suspended
● Any call, text, or email claiming to be from the Social Security Administration (or any government agency) is a scam.

Solicitation in Westwood
Under Louisville Metro Ordinance No. 57-2009, Am. Ord. 210-2011, any person who conducts house-to-house selling or taking orders for goods or services, must have a Louisville Metro Peddler License. Any person, firm, or corporation desiring to secure a license as a peddler or vendor shall make written application, under oath, on a form provided by the Department of Codes and Regulations. No license is required for any member(s) of a religious, charitable, health, welfare, educational, political or youth service organization selling goods or services to raise funds for their organization.
Vendors in Westwood must also obtain a Westwood Solicitation Permit. Once issued, a Westwood permit is good for one year.
The Permit Application is on the Forms page and must be approved and signed by the Mayor. If a Vendor comes to your residence and does not have both permits, they cannot conduct business in the City.
