Expert Opinion

Imagine getting a call that pretends to be the Social Security Administration, then pushes you to fill out forms over the phone. That's a classic Social Security scam and it often tries to sound official to lower your guard. Hang up immediately if you didn't initiate the contact, and never share personal or banking info. Verify any request by calling the agency directly using a number from its official website. Block the number on your phone and report it to the FTC or your carrier's spam‑filter service. Stay skeptical of unsolicited offers, especially when they involve urgent paperwork or financial assistance.
