469-856-8865

A robo call saying Social Security is proceding with a fraud investigation and to call this number immediately.

Said they were with Social security, but could not identify me from my phone number...suspicious.

They left a voicemail without calling. That's new, isn't it? Same Social Security scam mentioned above.

Warning! This is a Social Security Administration Scam number!

Listen to message

These knuckleheaded 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 ......pretty bizare "off-the-wall" story, 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 a scammer asks you to pay using Gift Cards.

Why is it that all IRS officers have a very thick Indian accent?

It calls and leaves a recording that someone is trying to use my SS number and to call that number back.

Did not pick up, no message left

Just got this call today.

Called and left a message every other day for a week, threatening legal action. I called the number back the first time it was busy.  The second time, it was a finance company but I couldn't make out what it said so I asked him to repeat it and he hung up.  I called back twice and got the same lady twice both times answering Social Security Administration.  What the heck is this?  When you do call the SSA, it is an automated system and their website says they do not publish local office numbers.  Very Weird

Waste of time... called about same social security fraud

This is a scam

A robo call saying Social Security is proceding with a fraud investigation and to call this number immediately.Scam!

A robo call saying Social Security is proceeding with a fraud investigation and to call this number immediately.

I received the same message as above - that there was some sort of vehicle fraud using my SSN and to please call them back.

Fraud or Scam, because calls say they are employees of the Social Security Administration or SSA. I asked for verification and they disconnected the call.

Same as above - "A robo call saying Social Security is proceding with a fraud investigation"

Social security fraud investigation
Will freeze payments
Call back said I was police Dept they hung up

Scammers. I called back and messed with them

Call came in as a  missed call twice. Then as a robo voice message. Same number 469- 856-8865. All on my cell phone. Robo message not clear just saying to call before legal proceedings would begin.
