I left my info by accident at the 1-800-842-0588 ext 5959 to a Andre Williams. He said he was handling my Social Security on-line application. I'm so upset because I should never have called, period. Actually, I did research the number before I called and it said it was Social Security, but I didn't read several comments down where it said it was a scam.
