I had two calls today (5-10-2019) that I felt needed to be shared. They were both robot or computerized calls. They both claimed to be from the Social Security Administration office.
The first call
1-88-815-0851
stated that my Social Security number was being suspended due to suspicious activity. It also requested that I press 1 for further information before hanging up
The second call
1-800-218-1657
was a robotic voice stating that I call back the Social Security office at the number they listed.
Both calls were sent to a voicemail of my cell phone. They were both from 1-800 numbers so it looked very legal. I would suggest you not call these numbers back if you are contacted. Upon doing a quick Google search I learned that both numbers have been flagged as scam numbers by various robocall websites.
