Scam? Call "from AT&T" asking for SS#

I had the same thing happen to me 2 days ago! It said it was call coming from my name & number "+ 2 more calls"....recorded msg asking for my SSN. I thought it was super fishy. I had been on a long AMTRAK train ride & was on the street outside a pretty empty  train station when I received the call. I know this thread is old but, was curious if anybody knew if this was done remotely i.e. is the person nearby cloning your phone? I'm really curious. Also more importantly, once somebody does this can they access other info on a passcode locked phone? Do I need to change all my passwords etc. etc.? I really hate doing that but then again don't want this to become a bigger issue. Thanks for any insight! 

My husband and I each just got the same call. My Cel rang and my number showed up as the caller. I called AT&T and they said I have to speak to the fraud department, " you have to call tomorrow because they are closed now". I guess fraud only happens from 8am to 4 pm!

That's called number spoofing. There's nothing AT&T can do about it and there's no fraud involving them. As long as you didn't give the caller any information, there's nothing more to do. 

Hopefully they'll get the idea soon and move on to other numbers. 

I received the same call from my own number, there was a recording saying there were from AT&T that my phone was flagged and they need to verify the last 4 digits of my S.S.  I hanged up immediately, but now I'm concerned if they hacked my phone or my info. Any advise???

I got the same call and it was from my phone number?

I got the same call today from my own number, so did my wife from her number?
