The District Attorney is warning San Diego County residents of a scam in which callers are pretending to be from the Social Security Administration. The main piece of information the USCIS uses to identify you is not the SSN, it is the Alien Number (A Number). So the typo should not affect your identity. Scammers are saying your Social Security number (SSN) has been suspended because of suspicious activity, or because it's been involved in a crime.
