Scammers impersonate the Social Security Administration

Just got the "your social security number has been used for some kind of fraudulent activity on the south border of Texas" Press 1. "Some kind" on "the south border," my that does sound alarming ;-)))

Wed., 7/17/2019, 12:45 PM (PDT). Received a recorded message telephone call from (Caller ID) 646-877-0746. Message purported to be from U.S. Social Security Administration stated that "my" social security number had been suspended due to suspected fraudulent or suspicious activity and to "press 1" to be connected with a Social Security Agent to obtain more information and attempt to resolve the matter. I disconnected and filed an on-line FTC "Do Not Call" fraud complaint report.

I just got a call claiming that my SS was suspended. If I wanted to know more about it then press 1. I hung up the phone. The number was 646-682-7365

I received a call from unknown number saying, fraud happening with my social security. Caller number is +1 804-207-4208.

Got a call from 1-800-180-2172 claiming SS was suspending my number due to fraud. Obviously they are the people perpetrating a fraud.

A number from 1-619-312-4373 called my phone with automated msg claiming legal action. When i called back they wanted personal info. I asked for a location to go directly to get info. He threatened to have police at my house lol. I promptly informed him he was a scammer and he hung up. Do not give any information to them. Start asking for information from them and they will show theor true colors.

7 calls already today 8 yesturday.. This is harassment at its best.. How do I get them to STOP??

7 calls already today 8 yesturday.. This is harassment at its best.. How do I get them to STOP?? 202 area codes... and all the last 4 numbers were different...

New number (646)403-4561

we just received this scam, from a number that appeared as 1-800-342-5747. When I pressed #1 to talk to a representative and said I thought it was a scam they hung up.

This is not a valid number and basically SSA does not really want you to report the number. All they want is for you to turn in someone committing fraud - not fraud against you. Please take down this information

800 065 0607 just got a call from that number, telling me that my ss is suspended, its a scam.

‭+1 (855) 677-6237‬ I got a call from this number, the guy said that someone used my ssn for renting a car and that car was involved in cocaine trade :) I laughed and he hanged up

Just got an automated call from 805-591-3528 saying my social card had been suspended or cancelled and to press 1 to speak with someone. So I pressed 1, and when someone got on the line, I immediately said, "TAKE MY NAME AND NUMBER OFF YOUR LIST, DO NOT EVER CALL THIS NUMBER AGAIN." They hung up. BE AWARE!!

got a call from ‭1 (866) 501-2101‬ about suspending my social security number due to suspicious activity, i’m only a minor

I received 3 calls yesterday each was from a different displayed number so obviously spoofing 888-669-1326 800-140-8288 800-052-5391 Each had the same message an aggressive voice mail saying my social security number had been canceled and asking me to press "1"

I answered the call from 410-770-2933 and they stated they were from the Social Security Administration, the guy spouted off a badge ID number, spoke broken English - I let him go on for a while and advised I wasn't going to provide any personal information as I was skeptical as to the validity of the call and asked for a number to call back. That is when he threaten to disable my SSN with in 5 min. I sternly advised that I doubted he was capable of doing so and just threatening to do so was illegal and stated that if he was from the Social Security Administration then he would know that I investigate insurance fraud for a living. He hung up on me, lol

I got a call from +1 888 790 7360. the reordered message told me that their have been fraudulent activity on my SSN and they are deactivating immediately. To stop them from doing so, I will need to stay on the line and talk to the officer.

Regarding case 109491499, I just received a third call from the "Social Security Agency." The three numbers so far are: (800) 159-0915 12:40 PM (800) 560-1219 1:22 PM (800) 200-1640 2:43 PM

The call from 1 802 502-8772 left a voice mail saying that my SS number was compromised, they found suspicious activity and it would be suspended, call back. How stupid scammers think that we are?

Rec'd a call at 6:39pm. Stated they are from the Social Security Department. Asked to press one so I did cause I wanted to mess with them :) . The line went dead. The number was 877-253-4715

“Press one thank you this call is from the Department of social security administration the reason you have received this phone call from our department is to inform you that we just suspend your Social Security number because we found some suspicious activity so if you want to know about this case just press one thank you…” 877-253-4715 Caller ID had it listed as United States Government (Calling at 5:59 pm EST - Yeah right, the government SSI office only works until 4 or 5 at the latest)

I received a voice mail message fro. A Robo caller SSA. That my ssn has been fraudulent suspicious activity and for me to call them back at 646-680-9294 ASAP to stop legal actions. Sounds like a scam too me.

Another SSI compromisation threat from 855-968-5480 today.

I got a call from phone number 887 253 4715 saying my ss# has been cancelled due to suspicious activity.

Got a call from #1-844-245-2376 from an Officer David Watts who left a voice message about arrest . I think this is a scam so I didn’t call back.

I received a call on 7/22/2019 from 808-201-6567 claiming they had suspended my social security number due to fraud.

I received a call from 1-281-562-7610 and they claimed to be from the Social Security Administration. They wanted me to confirm my information and I told them to pound sand.

Why do we keep referring to these thieves with the "soft" title of scammers. They are indeed thieves. The fact that they didn't knock us over the head does not mean that they are less than criminals. They are thieves, liars and bullies. They prey on anyone they can. Were the thieves that stole all the Equifax information, and continue to steal with it, ever caught? Didn't think so. It's really too bad that we can't actually catch and convict the actual perpetrators of these crimes. I've been receiving these "scam" calls for years now. Due to my employment, I have to answer calls from all over and can't screen as I would like to. If we want the ability to use the electronic conveniences that we have, it seems we also pay the price of being potential victims to every thief savvy enough to find us. Just today received the "Social Security" "freeze my SS number" call. In the past have gotten numerous calls, the "Income Tax, Federal Marshalls are coming for you" call, I have reported scam attempts to the FCC, Local Police, State and anywhere else that I have been directed to that "supposedly" had some jurisdiction to act against scammers. The ultimate answer is that there seems to be no real way to catch these people. They are either in a foreign country where we have no jurisdiction or they are clever enough to hide their location/identity. I had a group of college kids from Scottsdale, AZ attempt to scam me out of several thousand dollars to supposedly "recover" money from Google that I was due. They wanted me to send them 3 thousand to recover 20plus thousand that was in an account under my business name. I went so far as to purchase a cashiers check, then proceeded to send them the "receipt" for the check, meanwhile I had contacted the police in Scottsdale, who already knew this scam was happening. I sent the receipt to keep the contact going in an effort to assist the police. When the scammers received the receipt, they immediately called me to tell me I had sent the wrong part. I claimed to be elderly and scatterbrained and that I would certainly re-post immediately. Long story short, even with all of the contact and police knowing the group involved, they were never caught and charged. ( I did not send the cashiers check and re-deposited in my account) I have reported several scammers to the FCC, filled out full reports, given details of numbers, websites, times, etc.. All to no avail. There are simply not enough resources available to those of us "scammed" to receive help or justice. Unless the amount of the Theft ( and it is indeed theft ) is in the many tens of thousands of dollars, there is no legal system available with the resources to follow up and truely assist us. The anonymity provided by the internet works in favor of these thieves.

Scammers called me from (415) 446-9384 San Rafael, CA. I'm in FL. I called it back and it sounded like an Indian call center, guy had a very thick accent.

I received a robocall from 210-405-3313 to allegedly report activity on my account. A call back to above number (originators' number) revealed someone with very broken English asking me for my SSN and DOB.

I receive scam call that I did not answer a call from 839-879-1603 yesterday and they left a voicemail. It was an automated computer voice message that transcribed as "This call is from the Department of Social Security administration the reason you have received this phone call from our department is to inform you that we just suspend your Social Security number because we found some suspicious activity so if you want to know about this case just press one thank you"

Just received a scam call saying my social security number has been suspended. 1-866-501-2101 is a scam number!

Received 2 phone calls from 760-626-2209 within 3 hours of each other. If I don't recognize the number, I do not answer. An incomplete recorded message was left (beginning was cut off). Something about social security administration.

Got a recorded call y'day from "Officer Amanda Barnes" saying my SSN was used in suspected fraudulent activity in South Texas. Callerid number was 888 number which I blocked. Today, got same recorded call but with callerid of WASHINGTON DC with a phone number 202-381-3630, a valid but spoofed number, but NOT the SSA. Wonder how long they will continue to call me.

Fraudulent and threatening call received at 10:00 am today from "916-882-5373 (Arcade, CA)" claiming that SSA was filing legal action against me based on my fraudulent social security activity. Fraudulent bullies beware: we know better than to give you our information.

2 times today I have receive the following voicemails: "We want you or your retained criminal attorney of record to return the call. The issue at hand is extremely time sensitive. The number for you to call the SSA back is 270-594-4257. The reason you have received this phone call from our department is to inform you that there's a legal enforcement action filed on your social security number for fraudulent activity so before this matter goes to the state court house and before you get arrested. If you need any information or have any question kindly call us back at 270-594-4257. Thank you."

I just received a phone call from "Medicare Pros"..they stated that Social Security has some new plans etc etc and all I need to do is take a few minutes to give them the information to see if I qualify. I told her that I thought Medicare, SS, Medicaid and ll government companies wrote letters instead of calling and I do not know if she is who she says she is. She stated she is from Medicare Pros representing Medicare. I told her unless I have proof positive she is from SS I will not give out any information. She started to argue with me so I hung up. Tried calling SS/Medicare and couldn't get through for all the questions they wanted me to answer . IS there a company called Medicare Pro in my area that is calling about this new plan SS has.??

GETTING 10 calls+ daily the one today was a robot saying this is the Social Security Administration and there is a warrant for my arrest. Call came from 207-543-0124 in ME I am in California.

Received call a moment ago. 678-712-2971 (SCAM) Be careful!!! I live in Michigan and call came from Covington, GA. "Hi, this call is from Social Security Administration. The nature behind this call is to inform you about a suspension notice we have received against your social security number by the federal crime and investigation department. We need to talk with you soon as possible."

Number 207 563 8906 Made a call to me today leaving a pre-recorded message claiming to be the SSA and that there has been a warrant issued to the police for my arrest. Was told to press 'one' (As a voicemail this is impossible) to resolve the issue and to speak with someone. Quite a fake message, hoping you can look into it! Thanks

I received a call from 800-933-2447. The call stated that my SS# had been compromised. The person on the other end gave me the name David Miller with Badget ID 105-962. I ask for my name to pull up my record, which I did not provide. The guy tried really hard to fake his accent but when I asked him to spell his name which he did but had trouble the letters I, V, L, and R. I asked him to repeat his name many times until he got tired and moved to asked for my info. After explaining that they should have my records because they called me, he decided to end the call. I have dealt with calls like this in the past. Please be careful with the information you share.
