I have received robo calls from two different numbers both saying SSA had detected fraudulent activity on my account and that my social security number was suspended. If you want to know about this case press 1, thank you. the numbers are: 281-406-0762 and 240-573-8087. The numbers are probably spoofed so I doubt reporting them will do any good. This is not the first time I have received these calls. Previous calls have just been deleted.

Both my husband and I have been receiving phone calls stating that our SS# is being used fraudulently in a different state and the call 984 235 6659 to go over this case
Social security does not call individuals if their SS# is being used do they ?
please advise as we have not called this number but thought you would like to know
the numbers they are calling are our cell # 614 3706124 and 614 329 1767

Received a call stating I had fraudulent activity on the southern border. The number was 1-800-566-0034. I did not reply and blocked the number. Was this appropriate procedure?
