I’d enjoy getting one of these calls ‘cause I love playing with fraudsters.
My legit contacts with Social Security have always been through the mail.
I never pick up the phone. My daughters know to tell me to pick up. Everyone else leave a message maybe i will call.
Got this call last week - the caller sounded like he was from India
I never answer my phone if the caller’s name doesn’t come up or if I don’t recognize the number. Even if its a local number. If it’s someone I don’t know, I don’t want to talk to them anyway.
I tried to open an account with the SS web page, but the security questions included no answers that were correct.
The SS person I talked to on the phone said security questions are generated from credit reports. When I pointed out that someone else must be using my number, his only remedy was to freeze my account, which I did.
The SS couldn’t care less about misuse of our SS numbers.
I don’t answer my phone if I don’t recognize the caller,
I got one of these calls the other day. If they knew to call me and tell me that a warrant had been sworn out in my name for social security misuse, they would have known my social security number. I didn’t pay any attention to the press 1 message. Just hang up!
“The Angriest Scammer I’ve Ever Called”
I’ve listened to several of these scammer calls over the last few years. Some were pretty funny. This one is the funniest I’ve ever listened to. The guy stringing along this scammer is the best I’ve ever heard. If you have a few minutes to waste give this a listen.
