213-568-4241

SSN is being investigated?  Ridiculous.

They leave a automated message stating the call is from the social security office. Fake

Recorded message says my SS # will be suspended if I don’t call number.

Warning! This is a Social Security Administration Scam number!

Robo scam message:

Quote:

Call is from Social Security Administration, the nature of 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 to you as soon as possible, again this call is from Social Security Administration and the number to reach department is 213-568-4241 I repeated 213-568-4241 thank you.

Listen to message

Scammers don't have a clue how the real SSA works and they are hoping you don't either.
The SSA  doesn't suspend your ssn, file law suits, freeze accounts related to your SSN or issue Arrest Warrants.


The current scheme is they say your SSN is involved with a rental car found in southern Texas, with blood & drugs. Next theres some address they say was raided and discovered several bank accounts used for laundering money under your SSN, so they have to freeze your bank accounts and issue you a new SSN, but you have to secure your accounts by getting some gift cards.

Another variation is "your SSN is misused in Colorado" for money laundering, drugs, etc ......pretty bizare "off-the-wall" stories, its so hard not to laugh at them.

• Only a scammer would leave a message telling you "someone" is using your SSN for criminal activities, then try to say your in trouble for something you didn't do!
• Only a scammer would say "legal enforcement actions".
• Only a scammer is going to call you and demand you pay them over the phone to avoid an Arrest Warrant that doesn't really exist. You would first have to go to Court and disobey a Court Order to get an Arrest Warrant issued. If an Arrest Warrant was issued,  a Sheriff would suddenly show up at your door to serve it, they don't warn you they are coming and they don't put it on hold until you decide what to do.
• Your SSN can't be canceled, revoked or suspended because it is a number assigned to your birth name for Identification purposes, only scammers say it can. It IS your Identity as much as your name is.
• New SSN must be applied for with a misuse report on the old one and its FREE.
• Only scammers ask you to pay using Gift Cards. They are not designed to be a method of payment.

Let's get this straight, after you are born you are assigned a social security number, no one can take that from you, and if you do receive social security benefits, they will inform your via mail of any problems, not from a third world country...call them back and ask for their name and i.d. # to verify thru the FBI, they'll hang up on you. LOSERS

Your ss# won't be suspended.
