Caller said they were the Social Security Administration. There was suspicious activity on my account and it was being suspended. Gave a number to call.
Uh, no.
They should catch these jackwagons and string em up by their thumbs.
To think, someone trying to scam old farts like me. Hmmph.

    Yeah, I've been getting them the past few days. I think it is funny that the recording starts 'talking' before the call is picked up.
