Expert Opinion
Calls claiming to be a Social Security Administration callback keep popping up, and they often ask for personal details. The pattern matches a classic Social Security scam where callers fabricate an SSN issue or suspension threat to pressure victims. Because the number isn’t listed on the official SSA contact list, treating any unsolicited request for birth dates, bank info, or PINs as suspicious is wise. Hang up, verify the claim by calling the agency’s official toll‑free line, and consider blocking the caller. Report the number to the FTC or your carrier’s spam‑filter service to help curb future abuse.
