Scammers pretending to be from the Social Security Administration want your Social Security Number.

They claim they are from the Social Security Administration, and here's their pitch.

"We just suspended your Social Security Number because we found some suspicious activity."

We have found some suspicious activity with regards to your SSN and have suspended your Social Security Number until we resolve the issue. Please call back. When you call back, they simply want you to repeat your SSN number for verification and that's it. If you fall for this and give it to them, they'll have your number and who knows what they'll do.

As of this posting, the Federal Trade Commission has received more than 75,000 reports of Social Security robocalling scammers, that has resulted in more than $18 million in losses.


Things to keep in mind

1. Your Social Security Number is not going to be suspended.
