“I wanted to write in to report that I received 3 scam calls today. They left two voicemail messages saying my SS# had been compromised in the state of Texas and Nevada as well as other states. They did not state who they were and the voicemail was automated.
The third call I answered. I was asked for my phone number and refused, saying I received a call from them and wanted to know why before I give any information.
I was then asked for my full name and again I refused…then they abruptly hung up on me. I called the number back, but they didn’t answer.
I spoke to police about it and was told it was a common thing and I did the right thing by not giving any information to the caller. The officer I spoke with said that any requests from the social security administration would be mailed and they would never call.
Just a heads up!”-Rachel Vieira.
