800-772-1213

Apparently the scammers are in full swing this week.  The 800-772-1213 appears to be a legit Social Security Administration number, but scammers are spoofing it pretty effectively.  Got the call today just before 3pm EST.  It even read as Social Security in the tag.  I found tons of other references to this scam happening just today (Dec. 6, 2018).  Each describes some threat to a persons social security account, and needing info from the victim, starting with the Social Security number for "confirmation".  Some commented that the scammers sound very believable.

Said they were with the SS and if I did not call them back immediately they would block my SS number.

SSN Scam, dont answers or give any info.

What bothers me most is that this came up on my phone as a legitimate caller ID number for Social security. When I checked it is the same number legitimately used by Social Security. "Hi, this call is from Social Security Administration Department.  The reason you are receiving this prerecorded message is to notify you that we have got an order to suspend your social on an immediate basis because your social has been found suspicious for some legal activities.  It's very time sensitive and urgent that I do hear back from you before we proceed further with suspension of your social and assets. Please Press 1 to speak to the officer.

I receive retirement but never applied for anything else so there is no reason for SSA to contact me. Aside from the fact that they would contact me by mail not on the phone!

calling my husband stating they . found bank statements and blood in a car in TX . stating they are from social security

Caller name AMY from SSA office (Indian /Asian heavy accent). Told me I have a warrant for my arrest, because of big case involving money laundering, Bank Fraud drug dealing all tide to my SS# and name! Caller ID. WAS the right SSA #. asked for local Sheriff/Police phone# so that she can temporary stop the warrant. Conf. police dept. (Caller ID. showing the right #) Officer NATE SHAW (also thick accent), told me I had 1 hr. to combine my CC, Savings / Credit card/ Checking into a Sharewallet account, BEFORE TX. freezes all my assets. and I will need an attorney to figure it all out. I was given like 3 different case#, Ref # and "special ARD #" that would help temporarily. without having to go to TX. Court. They wanted for me to "ID" myself with my Driver's #, SS# and Bank name etc. I told the officer if he was actually an officer and what was his badge # because it just seemed really odd. His tone was rude (because I wasn't cooperating). He asked me if I was human, after I repeatedly asked him if he was an officer. I hung up!  WARNING***They are upping their game with these very calculated and sophisticated calls! DO NOT GIVE THEN ANY INFORMATION. SS OFFICE NEVER CALLS THEY MAIL INFO. SHERIFF / POLICE Doesn't ask for you to create a ELECTRONIC SHARE WALLET.

Just because the number was valid doesn't mean anything you mentioned in your post was-should have marked it 'scam suspicion'

Said they were from social security when looked up it's a scam number they give you a call be careful

Scammers  using this number are once again on the hunt for poor souls that fall for the call.  I got a call on my cell phone but did not answer.  They did not leave a message.

Debt collection SS?  I have no debts? SS number 800 -772 -1213 .she even left voice message! For accounting information to make sure it's me? Didn't call back! Called again this morning early. Will wait for paper work then bring to SS office to fill it out.

Scam... said my ssn would expire.

Automated call where the initial message was cut off.  It started with "....your social has been found suspicious for some illegal activity..." and followed other's reports, ending with "Press 1 to please speak to an officer...."

Exact message they left:
"Form you about some legal enforcement actions filed on your Social Security number we have gotten an order to suspend your social at very right moment because we have found many suspicious activities on your social before we go ahead and suspend your number kindly call us back on our number which is 812-503-2954 I repeat it's 812-503-2954 thank you and goodbye"

Call to cell, no message left.

I received a phone call a woman saying that she was from Social Security Office, and that my social security benefits were or could be suspended, to push 1 and speak to an officer ???

I got the same message and when I pressed 1 it was someone who had a thick accent and I hung up

I received a call from this number, didn't answer it, no message was left. I did find out that this is Social Security Office. . They have no reason to be contacting me. These scammer need to go away.

Did not answer phone,they left message with no name or company just started talking. 2nd attempt to contact me or next step was to appear before a magistrate or federal grand jury.. # for me to contact is also a spoof
