I received a call from 1-205-801-1111. The person calling left the number 1-800-254-5489 for me to call back and select option 1. The extension # was 4560 re app for retirement benefits. When I called back, I was told I had won an alert system and she would not put me through to the extension # until she finished her pitch so I hung up. I am very skeptical that this was a call from social security.

It is definitely the Social Security Admin located in Alabama.  I called back keyed #3 and dialed the extension that he left on the voicemail.  It was legit... regarding my online filing for retirement benefits

Called this morning and left message to get further info and left someone else's SSN. Spoke poor English and very hesitant in her speech.

This is definitely the social security administration calling to verify information on my application for Medicare and retirement benefits.  Not a scam.  They replied to questions I had written in the notes section of my application through SSA.gov.

It is the SSA. Called regarding my retirement.

205-801-1111 is the Social Security Administration--I just got two calls.   I couldn't ID the number so I let my machine pick up, but they said nothing and hung up, both times.   I called the number and found out it is SSA.  I had called them earlier at another number, couldn't get through, so I decided I'd call next week.  I didn't expect a call from them.   I just wish they'd ID themselves and not be such a nuisance to so many people.  

This phone number is the SSA in Birmingham AL.  They call to verify application information and DO NOT  ask any questions that would lead to ID Theft

I answered, and the male voice mumbled a name I could not understand. I said I don't think so even though I couldn't understand him. He mumbled the name again. I said It doesn't sound like me, he said sorry then hung up. I don't have any SS claims so am suspicious as to who was calling. He didn't mention SS or any company, I only saw it could be their # from this site.

I agree with Dave.  Both the 205-801-1111  and the 800-254-9489 number are legit.  In fact I got an additional overlooked benefit improvement I had overlooked in filling out my online request

Called saturday morning and no message. Didn't know government offices worked on weekends.

THIS IS THE US GOV'T. IF YOU CALL THE NUMBER BACK IT WILL TELL YOU THAT. THE CENTER IS LOCATED IN BIRMINGHAM ALABAMA

I got the same call from that number. It is an Social Security office.

It is the federal Social Security Office.  The caller will leave a message and a direct number to call him/her back.   Daniel Craig, Spartanburg, SC

i also received a call from this number wasn't here to answer but they never left a call back number nor a name i don't know who it was. i do know that ssa or any one else use 800 numbers and they do send out letters to the person they need to contact they very seldom call its usually all by mail

please investigate this number and inform the public if it bogus!      A lot of people get calls from the number!

I got this call Friday....205 801-1111

She was from the Soc. Sec. office she said.   She was basically telling me that they had to check my offset amount given for retirement to Soc. Sec.   If she was illegit, she knew all the 'jargon' regarding retirement and soc. sec. paperwork.  

I confess, not until today, Sunday, as I was bathing, did it dawn on me that it could have been some kind of spam/illegal call.   I remembered that the girl had a slight accent.  

I remembered that after the call I did call my actual local SS office, this girl said, "Now what is your address?"   As I gave it to her, she said that's not the address I have on file.   However, she did look further and found the correct address.   I just thought that was weird since I had only received 2 payment so far.    They lost my address all ready?    Anyway, please Lord, don't let me get scammed!     That's all I know at this point....

Called my home this morning.  Asked for me (I was at work).  Husband offered to help.  Began talking to him.  Should not have spoken to ANYONE but me.  He finally said just mail her a letter.

This was the Social Security Administration called about additional info they needed to process my retirement claim.

I got a call from this number asking for a job.

205 is aound the middle of the state of al birmingham mostly

We received such a call this morning at our business. No message left. Also our website was hit by the USGovn. on 3/26/08.

Earlier this week (5 days ago) after seeing a commercial on TV, I visited the website of a company that markets a product for Identity Theft Prevention/Protection, LifeLock.com. Since then I've received calls from two different numbers, both of which have appeared on this list.

Ironically, I have a block on all my phone lines and I haven't been bothered by telemarketers in years, until now. Coincidence? I think not! (My best guess would be Spyware at work here.)

Note: The area code is for the northern part Alabama

This is the Social Security office of the US Government. Totally legit.

don't trust this caller!!!

What to know who is calling - no message left.
