I,as many was extremely weary about the call. First ,they called & my wife picked up for I was out,she told me someone from Social Security called,being the ever suspicious person that I have become ever since JFK, I decided to do a # check ,& came upon this BLOG,after reading all the comments,I decided that the next call I receive I will pick & give the person the business,which I did,& I'm sorry that I did ,for this is a LEGITIMATE OUT-GOING #,unfortunately I wasn't told ,or advised that someone would call me. Well that being said,when I initially called I told the person I wish to make an appointment to speak to someone,for I had a few questions to ask before filing,but this person was able to answer my questions,but she left out one important note, That she did request an appointment ,which I told her, that since YOU have ANSWERED my questions,there is absolutely NO NEED for me to waste their time , & mine, to go to the office,please DO NOT make a appt. ,she said fine that she will E-MAIL the online info,& that I can apply as soon as we hang up, but that person failed to stop putting in for the appt. A failure to communicate,but it does ,unfortunately happens.This started achange of events that,led to the 718 phone call from Jamaica, N. Y. office to verify my appt. for August,but I thought it was someone scamming me,especially after reading this BLOG. Folk's IT IS LEGITIMATE,& I told MR R.@ the Jamaica Office ( which is the processing Department ) to relay my apologies to that sweet,& soft spoken young lady ,that was there to HELP,NOT HINDER.ME,......
