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.
My "bad"...the 1-570-831-1296 is indeed a number from the Social Security....The SSA faxed me a copy of my damaged (in the mail) W-2's and W-3's with a cover letter from the SSA (C&E Unit)...So this number is a legitimate SSA # and not a scam... (If you have any question...you can call the SSA 800 Number to ask questions before giving up any important info..) Sorry for my "knee jerk" reaction...It just took them a very long time to fax back my damaged reports.
4/7/11 I received a call this morning from Debbie at 8:22 am???? To early for office hours. She wanted "more" SS information she said I forgot to fill in. I thold her to send the form back. She hesitated and said she couldn't but would send another type of form???? I immediately thought scam.
got a similar message as well.
if it really is the social security office...
you would think a google search would
pull up their legit webpage...
as most government offices do
post their phone numbers.
sounds like a scam to me.
My phone only rang twice. The caller ID said U S Government. I wanted my answering machine to answer it but since it only rang twice, it didn't. I came here to see if a scam. I have been notified by Social Security before but it was always by mail. I would then call them from the phone number that's in the phone book. NEVER give any info over the phone when someone calls you first.
