    I would never give out any info to someone over the phone like that.

    Have them mail you an application and check to ensure it all matches up with AT&T's info.

    Better yet call their HR department and ask to speak to whoever it was calling you.

    If they work there then you know its legit and if they dont AT&T would probably like to know.

    To want your social security number... that's the red flag. Why would they possibly need that??? I can't think of a legitimate reason.
    There are only 10 kinds of people... those who understand binary, and those that don't.

    I got the SAME CALL. They were asking for my SS# a couple months ago. They got my resume off of monster. It was a thick indican accent. I told him I did not want to give out my Social Security and if it cost my chances of the job then I didnt care.

    I still have the email address. If you find out anything more let me know.
