When you get a call like that, do not give personal information and don't give them any other details about yourself, your friends, or relatives or anything. Absolutely don't provide sensitive information such as your Social Security Number over the
phone. You need to ask them for information. If they can't provide details then they are a scam.
You can check out phone numbers simply by searching, as in
8666757292. If it is a scam then you will definitely get faster answers that way. However even if the phone number is valid, that won't prove the call is. My mother had a call that she thought was valid but I said it must be a scam. So they gave a phone
number for Microsoft and it was a valid number for Microsoft but the number they were calling from has been reported as a scam.
