There appears to be a phone scam going on right now of people impersonating the Social Security Administration and alleging some type of discrepancy occurring to my SS account and asking for me to contact a person. 

The following phone numbers have been used (prefix = 360-857) 3469, 4357, 3978, 8812,9473,6956,5764,9642. This appears to have started Fri., Oct 2. Since I am on a fixed income, I am wondering if someone obtained a block of social security people like me, who are a designated target? 

The official information from the federal government social security administration website is to beware phone scams which seem to have picked up lately. I believe that others in Clark County are being scammed too.
