Received their call today. Just sent forms a few weeks ago. Questions like them asking for ss# is fishy to me. Never asked for bank info. Never would give. These reviews if legimate need to be changed.
This is a social security #. The Wilkes-Barre PA office has customer service reps that do work as late as 1 AM and handle calls to the west coast up to 9 PM which is midnight here on the east coast. The toll free 1-800-775-7802 also goes into the same social security office. You are smart by being concerned and never giving out any info without verification.
570-831-1296 and 800-775-7802 are both #s for Social Security Wilkes-Barre, PA office. The customer service representatives in PA work until after midnight at this location. You are wise to always verify information.
How do you know that this is really social security. I see that you have posted twice. It makes me concerned that you are tryig to reassure others that this is real. What is your proff? Something seems fishy.
So to help confirm that this is a social security line, I got a call from this phone number just a few minutes ago (9:09pm). I was right in front of the computer when it happened so I came here thinking it was some scammer. When I went back and listed to the voice mail it was my friends mom who left the message. I know for a fact she works at social security.
Received a call from this number (570-831-1296) and the caller ID said Social Security. The said our W-2's and W-3's were damaged in the mail...and could I fax another copy to them. I replied that IF they will just fax me a copy of the damaged form...I would be glad to oblige... Well, what do you know! They never faxed me a copy of the damaged form...Glad I didn't fall for it! Then I found this web site to report this number....
