These calls from +17185573000 are almost always impostors pretending to be the Social Security Administration. They pressure you for personal data, claim pending benefits, or schedule fake appointments. Never give out your SSN, bank info, or address unless you’ve initiated the contact through an official SSA channel. If a caller asks you to call a toll‑free number, hang up and verify the number on the official SSA website. Use call‑blocking apps, report the number to the FTC, and let friends and family know the scam is circulating. Staying skeptical and confirming through official channels stops the fraud.
