for me they were acting like the social security adminitration doing an investigation. i was suspicious from the start but when asking for my social i was like heck no you dont. and i hung up. they repeatedly called after till i turned my phone off for a while. they were even like oh if you dont believe we are social security look up our number. i was glad to and all i found was scam and its not even the real ssa number

Got a phone call that my SSN was suspended for suspicious activity. I actually asked the caller ("Sebastian Taylor") how did I know this wasn't a scam. He gave me his badge number and an 800 number that connected me to the SSA website. Unfortunately, I fell for it. the caller was very polite, then said he was transferring the call to his supervisor ("Thomas Clark"). HE rattled off a list of felony activity that was done with my SSN and said that if I didn't cooperate my SSN and any funds attached to it would be frozen for nine years. He stayed on the line with me the whole while that I was doing what he told me to do. A part of the process was to buy gift cards. He told me to give him the card and access numbers, saying that the numbers I gave him would not allow him use of  the cards, only to check balance. I rarely use gift cards so I didn't know I was giving him complete access to the funds. when I was done "Thomas" told me he needed time to enter the card info and that he would arrange a meeting at my Social Security office. There I would hand over the gift cards. The next step would involve two agents coming to me the next morning with a new Social Security card and a check for my money. He even texted me names and badge numbers. Needless to say, they didn't appear. After "Thomas" told me to take a break I became suspicious. I checked the balance on the cards and it was zero for all of them. These guys worked fast. Within about 20 minutes they used the cards to make online purchases.

First call recorded message that said my SS  number was suspended. As I know that a U.S. government agency will never call you, but will instead send written notice,  I hung up and blocked the number.  Two hours later I received a live call saying my SS account had suspicious activity. I asked him what my account number was- he didn't know. I then asked him why he had a middle-eastern accent.  Wherapon I was hung up on.  This call has also been blocked,  and I have not recorded another call.
