https://blog.socialsecurity.gov/general-warns-public-about-phone-calls-from-oig-imposters/

Phishing is defined by Dictionary.com “as to try to obtain financial or other confidential information from Internet users, typically by sending an email that looks as if it is from a legitimate organization, usually a financial institution, but contains a link to a fake website that replicates the real one.”

“The reports indicate the calls include a recording from a caller stating she is “Nancy Jones,” an “officer with the Inspector General of Social Security.” The recording goes on to say the person’s Social Security account, SSN, and/or benefits are suspended, and that he or she should call 806-680-2373 to resolve the issue.”

DO NOT BE A VICTIM.  If you are contact OIG at 1-800-269-0271 or online via https://oig.ssa.gov/report.
