Of course, I could not wait to call them and give them all my personal information. I certainly did not want my S/S Number to be inactive.

The guy spoke with a very slow low monotone as if he was being sure he was reading the "script" correctly.

We all must be careful, they will try anything.

Any government agency will never ever call you first. Not the IRS, not the Immigration Department, not the DMV, not Unemployment, not anyone. Its always communication by letters, if they do call they send a letter stating what day and time +-10 minutes to expect a call and what the call will be about.
