    Today i received a phone call from a person who called herself a SSA employee. She asked me if I knew that an arrest warrant had been filed against me. I said no. I asked her something and she hung up. I also called local police dept. They don’t disclose that kind of info on the phone.

    I received a voice mail on August 2, 2019, stating they were with Social Security, and if I did not give them my Social Security number a Warrant would be issued and I would have to appear before a magistrate in court to answer charges .The phone number was 1-888-336-0686. I believe this to be a fraud.

      Hi John. Thank you for letting us know about these calls. We do not usually make random calls. If you or anyone receives calls saying that they are from Social Security, do not give out any personal information. Suspicious calls should be reported to the Office of the Inspector General at 1-800-269-0271 or online.
