I've run into similar issues and we've been pulling our
collective hair out.
Calls from the SOCIAL SECURITY office, as well as
some hospitals, have been flagged with "scam likely".
Apparently the SCAMMERS have been spoofing the phone
numbers of these high profile, "got to answer this!"
phone numbers. And some people then report these
to the various spammer data bases.
No easy way to resolve this. The various steps
the telcos have been forced to take have reduced
the quantity of faked phone numbers, but it's
still way too much.
