Rather, they should tell you to log in to your account at ssa.gov.

This is from the SS website!!

How can I detect a phishing email pretending to be Social Security?

Most emails from Social Security will come from a “.gov" email address. If an email address does not end in “.gov”, use caution before opening attachments or clicking on pictures or links in the email. Currently, Social Security sends emails from no-reply@ssa.gov, subscription.service@subscriptions.ssa.gov, Thank.You@ssa.gov, DoNotReply@ssa.gov, and echosign.com.

In a few instances, we use marketing firms to raise awareness of Social Security’s online services, and this includes creating a my Social Security account. We allow these firms to send email directly to individuals. Any links you find within these emails should always point to a “.gov/” web address.
