Calls claiming a warrant for your arrest often turn out to be scams targeting Social Security numbers. The 1‑800‑772‑1213 line is the legitimate SSA number, yet fraudsters frequently spoof it to harvest personal information or threaten legal action. Never share your SSN, bank details, or passwords over the phone; instead, hang up and call the official SSA line yourself using the number listed on the agency’s website. Monitor your credit and benefits statements for any unauthorized activity, use call‑blocking tools, and report suspicious calls to the FTC. Staying cautious keeps your identity safe.
A call was received from this number, allegedly on behalf of my boss, yet it's unlikely that social security would initiate contact via phone, as their standard practice is to send correspondence through the US mail.
Allegedly left a voicemessage, but ther was nothing when I cheked, I suspect this is a scam, I dont want to discus my private informations with unknown callers
This number is associated with the Social Security Administration. They called me back after I avoided a 28-minute hold time. It would be beneficial for them to update their caller ID from 'Toll Free Caller' to something more descriptive.
Due to the high volume of marketing and scam calls, the only calls answered are those from known numbers in the address list, and this number was not recognized.
Apparently, I've been targeted by a scammer using the number 1800-772-1213, as they made two calls within a short span, despite my lack of interaction with SSA.

This is a total scam, they try to get your personnal info by telling you you've inerited a house and need to pay taxes on it

I got a email saying i made a account with a social security website, but i didnt, they called me back and asked for my social security number, i didnt give it to them, seem like a scam.
Given that SSA offices nationwide handle diverse workloads, it's plausible for an office in a different state to contact you; to verify, you can call the national number and confirm the caller's identity.
After leavin a message at the Social Security admin's toll free number, i recieved a cal back within 30 minites, the automated responce said it was caling me back because of my message, so it was a legitamit cal from the SSA.
I was contacted by someone claiming to be from the SSA, requesting verification of my 1999 earnings for Social Security purposes. I contacted the SSA's official 1-800 number and spoke with the help desk, informing them about the call. Although they assured me it was a legitimate call, I remain uneasy and will be monitoring my accounts closely.
An online search led to a suspicious phone appointment for Medicare enrollment, which raised concerns about documentation and potential scams
I received a call from this number regarding prescription drugs, which seemed suspicious, especially since I'm about to sign up for Medicare
I need my ssn number, can you please give it to me
A mail regarding hospital insurance application was puzzling as I never applied for it, and it mentioned a discussion that never took place on February 25.
The exact same message about additional help with drug costs was received, despite not being eligible for Medicare assistance, mirroring Tom's experience.
The official social security number is 8007221213. I received a call from 9724971400 claiming to be from social security, asking me to call the official number to see if I qualify for additional prescription drug assistance. However, this seems suspicious since I'm not yet eligible for Medicare.
They wanted to know my new adress
Despite the caller, Nate, claiming to be from the Social Security office and leaving a message with my local office's number, I discovered it was a scam when I contacted the office on Monday
Determining if a website or phone number, such as an 800 number, is legitimate can be done through tracing, potentially leading back to a government agency for verification.
The question remains as to how one can verify if a website or phone number is legitimate or not.
When I answered the call, the person on the other end responded with aggression, refusing to identify themselves or their purpose
This telemarketer is posing as the Social Security administration, but dont give them any personal info, they might already have your Soc Sec # and are trying to get more vital info, this is a spoofed number, so dont even bother answering, any info you give can be used to steal your identy
This telemarketer is impersonating the Social Security Administration, attempting to obtain personal information, including Social Security numbers, which they may already possess, and should be ignored as it is a spoofed call
Regarding your previous post, Norman, I provided information to help protect you from potential identity theft and outlined the steps to report such incidents.
After receiving a call on September 5th, I returned the call to the number provided, 855-249-4175 EXT 4015051, and unintentionally shared sensitive information. However, there was no follow-up call, which raises suspicions.
