What gets me is how we are told never to give out our ss # but about every phone conversation with medical, dental, eyes, financial institutions etc., within 3 other questions, you're asked for the one thing that tells everything about you
I guess they are using Hillary's private email server with all these Gmail accounts. I noticed my case ID number has changed, I guess I am extra suspicious now
Sure looks like a scam to me. If it was real, you would get a printed letter from the SSA. Speaking of scams, we often get emails from our "employees" asking to change their bank account for their paycheck deposits. The first time I learned of it was when ADP called me and flagged a transfer that our payroll person initiated - I told her it had been flagged as fraudulent and she said, "Wow, Ian just asked to change his bank account info to Green Dot bank as well!" I was stunned she didn't add those "dots" together. We stopped that one as well and now require employees to send an email using our email domain. Our payroll person will then call them and confirm verbally.
ADP is great; to amuse myself, when I see a request to change banks I send the info to the ADP fraud person, who then blocks their account and puts it in a database shared by payroll processing companies. I then tell the fake employee that for some reason we couldn't set that up, and if there is another account we could use to please send us that info. Invariably they send us another account and we block that one too. Here is an email I sent to one of these guys yesterday (and I actually did contact the FBI, but that is another long story):
