Like a wolf in sheep’s clothing, a call from +13014536539 often masquerades as the Social Security Administration. If the number shows up unexpectedly, pause before handing over any personal data. Verify the caller by contacting the official SSA line you already have, not the callback number. Watch for requests for your full SSN, security questions, or urgent mail‑awaiting claims—those are classic red flags. Keep a log of the call details and report suspicious activity to the FTC and your state’s consumer protection office. When in doubt, let the agency call you back on a known number.
After attempting to update my personal info and phone number with the actual social security administration, I was given the option to leave a callback number due to a 55-minute wait time, and shortly after, I received a call from this number
Being naive about such claims can lead to getting scammed.
Erik, thanks for the informations, much apreciated - I didnt know that!
This is probaly the Social Security office calling, the area code dont always match they're location
A call was recieved from someone impersonating a social security representitive, who had previosly sent a letter with the social security logo, they requested personal info that they shouldnt have, be wary of such calls
Upon calling back, a recording claimed to be from the Social Security office in Albuquerque, despite the area code indicating Maryland, and requested sensitive information
Your post is reassuring, as it confirms that the Social Security administration does send emails stating that a call will be made, and it's always a good idea to verify first
Missed it, nothing to report.
After filing for SS, I recived a call from this number in Kitzmiller, MD. The person on the line was the SS caseworker and asked for my SS# and security questions, but I didnt give them the informations. The person was polite and profesional. I contacted the local SS office to verify the call and they confimed it was legit...
When a social security call was recieved, they requested my social but when i asked for a call back number to verify, the lady just hang up after saying she cant wait to recieve something in the mail
It's a fake call about Social Security.
Suspicion arose when they requested personal information, such as a social security number, and became irritated when it was not provided
Apparently its a scam regarding Social Security
