Social Security Fraud/Scam

MrsWD has gotten two letters from the "Social Security Administration" in the past couple of weeks. They came in blue 6x9 envelopes.I get a lot of mail from SSA and it is always in a white #10. Much of the information in the letter looks legit, it shows the real address of a regional SSA office and even an invitation to visit the local SSA office with its correct address.
But.
It asks to call 888-719-8891 rather than any of the numbers on my official SSA correspondence.
It uses MrsWD's maiden name - a name she hasn't used in over 30 years.
It claims she is owed some money by SS. I've gotten refunds from SS, they just send a check with a vague explanation of why they sent it.

I'm guessing this is an attempt to get her to give up her social security number to some scammer.
