The turnip truck does not come down our street

Only minutes ago my wife got an "Unknown caller" call on her telephone. The recorded voice said "There are legal actions pending against your Social Security number." The voice said my wife should immediately call (a number). The number had a 202 area code, which means it, ostensibly, is in Washington, D.C. 

My wife, possessor of unusual intelligence and common sense, said she would not do as the Unknown Caller advised. 

The Social Security Administration does not make such calls, but thieves do.
