    I have been receiving several phone calls saying that their is a federal investigation about my social security number. And that I need to give a call back to the soc. security office at 801-734-9930. I need to know if this is fraudulent or if it’s for real. Thanks

      Thanks for checking in with us, Bernardo. We do not usually make random calls. If 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. You can also report these scams to the Federal Trade Commission through a new site specific to Social Security scams, here. We hope this helps.

    I received a call from someone who said they were with the Social Security Administration and that my check was being withheld due to unusual activity. It did not ring through to my phone, it went straight to my voice mail. It asked that I press 1 to find out more details.

    We are receiving calls daily, sometimes twice a day from an automated caller telling us to telephone 800-674-9830 about our SS. They threaten to cancel our benefits if we do not call back! We know this is a scam, but we don’t know how to get them to STOP calling us? Any advice will be appreciated.
