Social security (which is illegal) and I would have to go to the county court (which is also stupid) to resolve unless I called them right back. I just started getting my SS in February, and all of a sudden I started getting calls. Where do they get this information from?

On my android phone I use an app called “should I answer”. They have a database of many known spammers, and when your phone rings, it shows a message to you that it is probably spam.
