I received a call today, with this number displayed as caller ID, along with Richmond California as origin. The caller asked for me by name, but the phone line quality was poor. The caller gave a name, which was previously unknown to me, and stated he was calling from Social Security Administration. My SSDI claim was approved in 2009 back to 2007, and has been running ever since. Note: While I am not an expert in the inner workings of the Social Security Administration, it seems 99% or greater unlikely that I would ever get a phone call from anyone in the legitimate Richmond California Office, at least without moving first -- I don't live in their service area. Before someone remarks but they aren't that kind of office, they process some kind of paperwork for the whole country, let me say this: if that's the case then they don't call people, they let the field offices call people, and where I live, my field office isn't in California. Now it's quite possible that for economic reasons they built a field office and the Western Programs office into the same building... but they would still be two separate units. ---T.R.E.
