Who’s pretending to be the government now?

I just received a call from someone stating they were from the Social Security Administration and there was a warrant out for my arrest; press 1 to speak to an agent. I don't know if the warrant was for me or my husband, since we both have the same phone number. I hung up the phone and looked up the number they called from. The number is 207-568-0240 in Thorndike, ME. I called it back and was told the number is not in service. Please beware. I don't know what they would have asked for if I had pressed "1". But I know the Social Security Administration will not make this type of call.

Have received several calls over the few months with 2 calls on the same day this. The call starts out with a man saying his name is Officer David Walkes. He say says we need to contact him regarding suspicious activity regarding our social security and need to call him back at 844-245-2376. These calls were on our voice mail and I promptly deleted them and called our social security office. They told me to contact the fraud department and I'm responing with this message.

I received a call for my daughter on my cell. The woman said she was marshal and needed to serve her papers between 2-5 pm at her home. Left a number to the party that initiated the service request to call if I had questions. I also had number she called from. When I tried both, the call wouldn’t go through. Now what do they get out of these kind of calls? My other daughter received a voicemail from someone that said they were Going to her work and she had to let security know that they were coming. It’s just a scare tactic but I don’t understand why

I had a blast with one the other day...I was bored. Said they were from social security. Said my benefits would be cut off. I don't get any yet. Said my bank statements with large suspicious transactions were found in a car outside of a house in Texas. I'm in NJ. There was blood in the car and a huge quantity of cocaine. Said they were coming for me. Apparently I had been tried and convicted. I played with them. The call came as a recording with a call back number. I blocked my number and called. gave them a phony name and ss #...they said they had my file right there and told me about the bank statements, blood and cocaine. I played with them until I got to the DEA guy. He hung up.

Natsnana62 I received a number from 1-888-736-2382 saying that my social security number was involved in Criminal Activity. Trying to get me to give them information. I hung up but this number should be investigated as to who it belongs to. Fraud.

Just got a call saying I am eligible for a government grant of $9000.00. The call came from 524-201-4430. But they wanted me to call back to 347-878-7231. Did not call back!!

I recieved a call to contact a Sam Jordan .Phone number came up from Taiwan .That my ssi number was on hold because of a hack of 200 thousand dollars .I told him send me paper work He said he could not so I hung up.Scam

Hello. it has been 2 days back to back I am receiving calls from 1(800)895-7517 and 1(800)485-2681. A massage alerting me that my Social Security Number has been blocked because of suspicious activity and I should talk to their officer by pressing One (which I did not), they said if I didn't press 1 my SS will be blocked indefinitely!? I know this is a scam. So I am reporting it.

I received a call from 424-398-3242 saying they were the SSA Department and were filing a lawsuit against me and an arrest warrant has been released on my name due to legal enforcement actions about my Social Security number for fraudulent activities. And to get more information about my case file from the Federal Database call 360-842-4004 to speak with an officer.

My mom just received a call from supposedly SSA saying they were going to suspend her SS if she didn’t call back immediately. The recording was American, but the next call was a foreign idiot thinking we are stupid, asking for my name, I asked what the purpose of the call was and he insisted on knowing my name. Well too bad not getting my name. I hung up. It was a California number. 415-659-9639 She received 3 calls within 10 minutes! Trying to report it is like pulling teeth, useless to call the fraud hotline!

I keep receiving phone calls that there is suspicious activity with my SS#. They have said they are blocking the use of my SS#. The latest call came from 800-305-3518. I have received calls from 800-488-4250 & 800-082-4975 & 253-299-9287 the last 4 days. I am just hanging up when they start to talk. Should I be doing anything else to make sure they are not hacking my phone?

A Friend of mine called me all excited because she got a call from a company wanting to refund her for a PC plan that she had purchased some time ago. long story short, the refund was 299.99 and they erroneously put 2999.99 in her account. ( she gave acct #). The person was so upset & was going to lose their job. so she got gift cards to reimburse, plus she gave them control of her computer. I immediately told her it was a scam, but she still insisted on explaining to me. so, i said to her "if you happy with it i am too.

8339864470 I got 10 calls from this number acting like Ssi saying my number is gone lol so stupid but people will fall for it

I just received a SS fraud robocall. I attempted to report it via the SS Admin Fraud Hotline. Unfortunately the hotline (800-269-0271) just puts you in an endless loop with no option to report SS fraud phishing calls. Perhaps this is a new issue (?) but the Hotline is now unusable for actually reporting fraud. The FCC site also provides no option to report individual instances of this type of fraud. Really frustrating.

I got a call from "Social Security Administration" stating a car rented in my name was found in TX , blood was found in the car, several bank accounts and 2 pounds of coke. They said they were freezing my SS # and bank accounts, that I could go get the money I don't want them to get and they would give me a "security locker" to deposit the money into until I got my new SS#. I gave them a last name similar to mine and fake last 4 digits of my social. They wanted me to drive to the bank while they stayed on the phone. REALLY? I told them while they had me on hold I reported their info to the FTC, they hung up. Don't try to B.S a B.S.'er. DEA agent Jason Snyder phone # 915-229-2859.

I just received a robocall, Friday August 9, 2019 about 12:15 pm from someone claiming to be with Social Security. The mechanical voice told me they were alerting me to fraudulent activity with my social security number coming from south of The Texas border. I was instructed to press 1 to speak with a law enforcement officer about this. I did nothing, said nothing and the caller hung up.

Sam call from 844-857-3384 stating they were from Social Security about losing benefits.

I have recieved now 7 phone calls stating that my SSN has been connected to "Medicare Fraud" and I have a warrant filed for my arrest. I am a Retired Disabled Firefighter and have indeed been getting Social Security benefits for several years now. This scam is SCARY...I have even received messages that state "denied ignorance" in this matter will not stop your arrest. I have called my local Sherriffs office and Federal Marshalls just to rest assured (you NEVER KNOW what can actually happen to your SSN nowadays, people CAN ACTUALLY steal it an really DO something bad....idenity mistakes have been made and people have served many years in jail while innocent). DON'T LET THESE PEOPLE SCARE YOU.....The police suggested this: Does it make sense that ANYONE (any Law Enforcement Agency) would "forewarn" a criminal BEFORE they're going to arrest them...giving the criminal time to depart the area?

I just received a phone call from someone saying he was from the legal department of Social Security. A lawsuit had been filed against my social security number regarding a fraudlent misuse of social security funds. I know this isn't true but is there anything I can do to protectmyself from this?

Unknown number Say Myy SS Number I not use the number any more. Sign Mary Aune

i received a call fro m a 1-800-341-0342 number recorded call stating that my social security was being blocked and that there was an issue with my account. I then got connected over to a woman who asked for my name and information. i immediately went on to tell her that she was scamming me, which then she got offended by, then hung up. Also, 240 and 301 area code numbers are also scammers. look out, if the SSA wants you they will not call you.

I just received a call and text from a number 925-421-0376 saying it is the FBI telling me I had been scammed. And surely the FBI does not ask people for money at all. So guess he was just an impersonator.

I just received a robocall from FSN-EMP9-430468 phone number 210-526-3752 claiming to be the Social Security office. It said to call them at that number because of criminal activity on my account. I hung up because I think it's a SCAM.

I received a call from 510-519-7667.Man on phone said his name was Matthew Lee, Federal ID#840851291. Said I qualified for $10,000 in grant money. Gave me two tracking codes, 1)804851291-(2)60973824.He then proceed to tell me how I needed to go to Walmart immediately to receive the money,stating I'd have to get a card which would cost $250.00 that would be refundable.Fortunately I worked for Wal Mart for 18 years,in which I happened to work in the money center where money transfers,and Western Union are conducted.I informed the man of my knowledge,and he tried to argue with me.I ended our conversation by telling him there are forms to be filled out when sending,or receiving money and he provided NONE of the information required.

Friends MoneyGram, Western Union, Money transfers, or Government Grants DO NOT require you to put ANY money down for ANY reason. Also there is NO time limit in which you need to pick it up. Please BEWARE of scams!!

Received a scam call this morning from 1-866-815-9605 stating they are going to cancel my social security number would be cancelled.

I have received more than one voice message telling me to call immediately due to issues with my name and SSN. The message is in English and then repeated in Spanish. A day later a text message indicates to call a number regarding my Chase account that has been locked. All of these are false and easy to check the accounts to determine this. The false calls are from: 877-930-1715 and 201-416-7090.

Hi, 2 weeks back I got a call (1800) saying that my SSN has been suspended. I spoke to them and gave them the last 4 digits of my SSN :-( . (that was kind of stupid i know) Since then, i have been getting similar calls almost on the daily basis and i ignore them of cos. How do we stop them from calling? Thanks.

Just received a phone call from 1-410-517-7977 claiming to be the Social Security Administration. The person stated that my Social Security number had been used in Texas and wanted to verify my information. I assumed from that this was a telephone scam and told him no that I did not give out information like that over the phone. He laughed when I hung up. I assume this was not the Social Security administration. There was lots of background noise and the person spoke with a distinctively non-US accent.

Just got a recorded call claiming my SS number had been canceled due to criminal activity and an arrest warrant issued. If you want to know more press 1. When I pressed 1 I was transferred to someone with a foreign accent. He hung up on me for some reason. I was kind of disappointed. I wanted to hear what he had to say.

Please stop these phone calls..."this is Nancy your patient advocate working closely with Medicare." I get ten or more calls per day from different numbers. I live in Georgia.

I have gotten several calls from different numbers. Theses are a few of them 1883-328-3772, 315-284-5147, 805-422-7349, 315-284-5167

An “agent “ from the US Fraud Dept contacted me to say I was going to be indicted in a money laundering, criminal actions with Overseas persons flagged by the government.

Many sleepless nights

I've received two calls---one on my cell, and one on my land line. Both calls were an official sounding male voice saying he was a Social Security agent, and that my social security number was involved in suspicious activity. I laughed and deleted the voice mails. However, I'm posting this because I don't want anyone to fall for this scam!

On 28Aug2019 at 20:04, we had a missed call with a Voicemail message from +1 (337) 522-7473 Abbeville, LA, United States, that said; the call was from the Federal Security Administration it was urgent they needed to talk to us as soon as possible, then they gave us the phone number to call. Unfortunately we returned the call and a woman with a strong foreign accent answered and told us that she was with the Federal Security Administration and due to fraudulent and drug trafficking activities, associated with our SS# our SS account would be closed by the end of the day. They asked us to verify the last four digits of our SS#, said we had numerous addresses associated with our SS#, asked if we recognized a list of our current and previous addresses. She gave us a Case #CK231462, her name "Jennifer Walker", ID# 2014-48 then she forwarded the call to "Allen White" of the Drug Enforcement Agency and he told us they had found an abandoned rental car in Texas with drugs, money transfers to foreign bank accounts ... finally he said they would call back and hung up. After the call we contacted our son and he told us that it was a scam and to check this website.

Received two prerecorded calls today from 855-426-6922 saying it was Social Security Administration and that my Social Security number has suspicious activity and I need to call them back. I blocked the number.

I received 3 calls today 9-3-19 from 281-245-1913, Alvin, TX leaving the name of Officer Marie Gomez from SSA. She was informing us (no names mentioned) that your SS # has been suspended and to call said number. When are these scam calls going to go away? Can’t anything be done?

I rec'd 2 calls today from someone claiming to be with SSA PR recording from SSA Legal Dept for fraud activity and an arrest warrant has been issued for me etc, That was left on my landline voicemail, then they called back after I got home from work and I answered the call and pressed 1.
