Scam, scam, scam...

I was listening to the messages on my phone, and one of them was from "someone from Social Security."
At first I thought, "What the heck?" then looked on line about "Why Social Security would call." It said something about people calling "if you recently applied for benefits...." I don't remember doing so, so I don't think the call was legit. 
There was also a call about my missing a phone appointment I had had. 1) I totally forgot about it, and 2) I didn't have my phone last week, anyway. I'll have to call her back tomorrow.
Other than that, there were no other calls--except from the guys who were fixing my phone. Didn't they hear my phone ring in their store when they called? 
So, not falling for any scams again.
Hope all is well with you in your part of myLot land!

Right. Social Security calls often are scams, if you have not reached out to them first.
