Yesterday afternoon, a wave of messages from 833‑684‑0624 landed in many inboxes, claiming a new note in the MySocialSecurity Message Center. The texts mimic the look of official SSA communications and include a link to https://secure.ssa.gov/RIL, but the number is not owned by the Social Security Administration. Recipients should treat any unsolicited link as phishing and never enter personal data. Verify alerts by logging directly onto www.ssa.gov or calling the official SSA helpline. Block the sender, report the incident to the FTC and to SSA’s fraud‑prevention team, and educate friends about the personal data risk.
When receiving messages from this number, it's advisable to log into your account on the SS website instead of clicking on links, and check your notification settings to avoid potential issues.
It's worth noting that legitimate Social Security texts usually come from official numbers, not regular phone numbers like 833, which are often bogus
