Like a wolf in sheep's clothing, the call from +18762053540 pretends to be the Social Security Administration but drops the typical safeguards. The script mentions sudden benefit increases and a push for personal verification, both classic hallmarks of a scam. Real SSA communications arrive by mail and never demand immediate info over the phone. If you receive a similar call, hang up, block the number, and report it to the FTC or your state’s consumer protection office. Never share Social Security numbers or banking details unless you’ve initiated contact through official channels. Stay vigilant and verify any unexpected benefit updates through the official SSA website.
Normaly, Social Security dont call you, if they need to contact you they will send you a letter in the mail, and Social Security benifits dont increase in the middle of the year, only at the end of the year
A caller claimed my Social Security Benefits would increase within 2-3 days and requested verification of some information to proceed with sending a form; when expressing discomfort in discussing this over the phone, I was transferred to a 'supervisor' before hanging up, and they subsequently called back from a Jamaican area code
