Answered call from (501) 365-1753 (Caller ID reads, Heber Springs, AR) . A male said he was calling to help me with my disability claim. He claimed to be from the Social Security office. I told him I had made no such claim but my husband thought it was about a past, three-week claim from a prior injury. I told the caller to wait but he kept saying "Thank you, goodbye". As I handed the phone to my husband, I heard a woman's voice, briefly. Then, the man began speaking to my husband. The more the caller said, we realized it was a scam. I took the phone again and asked who they were. There was a pause and then an unrelated answer. I stayed silent after he asked his next question. He replied "Okay, good" as if I had replied and asked another question. It then became obvious this was a recorded voice with rote questions. It does NOT sound like a recorded voice, it sounds live. BE AWARE they are getting better at this.
