I received a call from this number from a "Mr. Brown" asking me to call Social Security between 8 and 4:30 Monday - Friday. When I tried calling this number back, I got a message that "this is a non-working number". Uh-huh...

@Social Security employees have overtime---If you do, indeed, work for the SSA I have this to say to you: If you and your co-workers are going to call people on a holiday weekend Saturday (today is the day before Easter), then you should leave a call-back number so we who work all week can actually get in touch. If you're going to be there anyway, you may as well allow us to get in touch to take care of the business we may not have time for in your allotted hours during the week.

This number keeps calling me.  I have called it back and it states "this number is not working" I do not know what is going on but I believe is may be a scam.  

I received such a call on Thursday the 24th. She said my sister who lives in another part of the country authorized her to call me. Funny that out of 5 of us only 2 received such a call. This was supposed to regard the passing of our mother who struggled to get by every month. The calls also went to our cell numbers that we keep very private. I did not give my social security number but did verify my address. I will be cautious in any communication such as this.

Some say this is legit and others say it is a scam. I am on the fence so I am happy all I did was verify my DOB.

I just submitted an online application for social security benefits yesterday.  This phone number is from Social Security Administration in Richmond, CA answering my questions that I typed in the remarks field.  The caller identified themselves with their name, company and city.  They left answers to my online questions on my voice recorder and requested that I call them back at 1-877-772-3794 at a specific extension with my selection of taking spousal benefit or my own social security benefit to proceed with my application.  I believe this is a legitimate call.
