Today i answered the call and heard a pre-recorded message stating some suspecious activity with my social security number. It acts you to push 1 for more information. A male voice came on the line and ask how he could help me. I told him this number call me. He then ask what the message was about, i responded my social security number and then the line went dead. I called the number back, it dosen’t identify a business, just a prerecorded message identifying the phone number for you to leave a message.

I asked her what did they find going on with my social number. She stated she will first need my date of birth and SS number. I told her she is suppose to already have that so why do I need to give it. I told her to call it out and I will let her know if it is correct. She said she cannot help me if I do not give my number. I told her that was ok and I would call the local office. I was online almost two minutes.
