Heads up on this phishing e-mail I got from "Amazon"

14. Haven't had email scams lately but I keep

getting scam messages on my phone.

First was a message about something wrong with my SS account. Ssid 'they' had bern trying to reach me about an irregularity with my SS account. If I did not get back to them, they would assume it was fraud and would prosecute. I had just checked my online account the day before because I got an email from SS to say I had a new message. The message was a letter about the cost of living raise.

I called SS to ask about the fraud threat. They said it was a current scam and to ignore it, but checked my account to verify that it was ok, no problems.

2 days later and almost every day since, I get recorded messages that are not complete. Sounds like the first part is cut off, as if the message started playing before the voice mail could start recording. It instructs me to press a number if I want my refund.

I did not work last year, so I have no IRS refund due. Noting else I would get a refund from. Checked online about refund scams. Found something about IRS scams. Not sure quite how it works. Something about false returns filed in someone's name and offers to help collect the refund. Scary part about that is how could anyone file a return without a SS number? Now I'm worried that my tax preparer's system was hacked.
