Expert Opinion
Never share your Social Security number with an unexpected caller. Scammers using the Social Security Administration name often employ a robotic voice or a fake badge to create urgency and pressure you into giving personal data. Let the call go to voicemail, then verify the request by calling the official SSA number you find on a government website. Block the offending number on your phone and report it to the FTC or the Federal Trade Commission’s Do Not Call registry. Keep your personal info and bank details offline unless you initiated the contact, and educate friends and family about these common tactics.

A robocall with a digitized voice claiming a British accent warned of suspicious activity on my Social Security account, advising me to call back, but I did not comply, knowing that for genuine concerns, I should contact my local SSA office directly.
A recorded message claimed that someone was tampering with my social security number and prompted me to call back, which I did not do as it seemed suspicious, especially since legitimate agencies typically do not use pre-recorded messages or alternate numbers.
Purporting to be the Social Security Administration, the caller will request sensitive information, including your SSN and its origin, while threatening pending legal action - a blatant scam.
