855-278-4199

Called 8 times in last two hours. The message says my social security number will be deactivated due to fraudulent activity and I need to press 1 to speak with a compliance officer or I will be arrested.....SCAM!!

I’ve gotten 5 calls today. Each with a voicemail that says ‘press 1’ and that’s it. If you call the number back it says it’s SSA.

I have received multiple calls with an annoying automated message. This borderline harrassment, and obviously a scam. I will be reporting to the FBI.

Social Security Administration Scam
Number is spoofed from the real SSA - Seven Fields Office (Hearings Only) in Mars, Pennsylvania

Robo scam message:

Quote:

Hi, this is a message from the Social Security Department in order to inform you that your social security number will be getting suspended due to fraudulent activity found under your social dot to avoid any kind of legal consequences for a non-bailable arrest warrant. You need to talk to the concern officer immediately to connect the call, press one.

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.

Same M.O. scam, they called again about 30 minutes later from 855-278-4190.  I called our local police right away and filed a report. The detective said they get calls like this all the time, they are fraud and thank goodness we didn't fall for this and send gift cards to anyone we don't know. He suggested we go to the FBI site and report it to them as well at:  https://www.ic3.gov/complaint/splash.aspx  and file a report there as well.

Llamadas continuas

It is the same for me!

Este num llama diciendo que te van a arrestar que óprimas el número 1 luego del mensaje ,todo es una estafa

Press one to avoid a arrest warrant

Someone named Scott claimed to be from the SSA, gave me the exention number 32015, and demanded my full social security number. When I questioned him, he said to check my secure E-mail, that he sent me something, there was nothing there.
