Yes. I should add that when you apply online, they ask you how you would like to be contacted and to give them a time window.

And I should add that I have had at least 5 of these scam calls in the last 2 weeks. Guess they blanket an area with calls until someone bites.

tsavorite, It's an old scam--Social Security is still pretty secure but the crooks keep trying to hack it.

It is a scam. I have had several of them, all from different numbers. I block numbers, but they call back in a day or 2 from a different number.

Social security called me after I had a change in bank account and routing numbers right before my direct deposit was due. But I requested the call.

Of course it is a scam. Think about it for a second. “Your social security number has been suspended”. What does that even mean???? Makes no sense.

Yes we received this call a few days ago. I have a Call Blocker from QVC and I just punch it. I don't fall for any phone call. Even the one that told me they were coming to arrest me for not attending jury duty. You know I've never been called to jury duty, ever in my life. That's weird.

I got that one a while ago and ignored it. I figured if it was true I wouldn't get paid and would deal with it then.
