Received a call from the "Social Security Office of Administration" warning me, beckoning me to call them back on the "hotline" i.e. this number. I did so from a spoofed line and was able to engage them for 21 minutes. The highlights:
https://800notes.com/Phone.aspx/1-800-758-4344Was connected with the Indian version of "Raymond Smith" who represented himself as an employee of the social security administration. He wanted to know my name, full address, phone number, birthdate and of course social. I provided a very plausible but totally inaccurate response to all these inquires. These fools are getting smarter now and will put you on hold to verify your info by matching the social you provided to a database of numbers issued by state and year so its important for you provide a matching algorithm. Failure to do so will result in them hanging-up on you.
Once all my info was verified, I was informed of the warrants issued in my (made-up) name and the potential consequences. My new friend "Raymond" informed me of the following:
His employee name: Raymond Smith
ID Badge # 3156219AC
Case ID GA7010 <--- Notice the GA. I used an algorithm from a database and randomly chose the state of GA
Warrant Number against me: 53-7452
Story: His english was very difficult to understand but heres the crux of it.
They found an abandoned car in Bowie, TX which had been rented under my name and social. In it, they found
9lbs of cocaine and thousands of dollars in cash. Further investigation indicated that many accounts were opened in my name and therefore I would now be charged with drug trafficking and money laundering. Oh dear!
So, according to section 42 and a whole lot of sub-paragraphs which I absolutely could not understand, I'd be charged and taken to jail for 9 years! Oh, poor Hermey!
I was asked if I had any questions or comments regarding this case. NOPE! I said, I'm ready for whatever consequences may come my way. With that, I was transferred to the "Senior Officer" after a brief hold.
The "senior officer" now graced my ear with his fractured english but I believe he told me his name was
Eaton Walker. (such 'Merican and flag wavin' kinds of names I'll tell ya wut!) Anyways, Eaton was from the DEA, how do I know? He told me twice so I'd be absolutely clear about which authority and organization I was talking to.
Eaton stuck with warrant number 53-7542 to keep it all official like but told me NOT TO WORRY! If would cooperate with them and explain myself they'd take that into consideration and the only possible negative outcome would be they'd suspend my social and issue me a new number and card. (Wish that could really happen in real life) but I indicated I was most eager to cooperate.
He asked me if I had anything to say and I told him, I said it all to his chum Raymond but would be happy to reiterate it all if he felt he needed to hear it first-hand. However, Eaton was satisfied with things as they were and maundered on about how my card will now be deactivated and that all my accounts no matter where they are in the world will now become inactive.
So I'm kinda waiting for the part where they ask for my credit card but that never comes and I'm getting the vibe that its not going to happen. Eaton thanks me profusely for my cooperation and asks if I have anything else at all to say.
The Reveal:
Yes, I say, I'd like to thank you for you time and professional attitude in dealing with what must be a very serious case. He thanked me! Further, I'd like to point out that I've now been on the phone with you for exactly 21 minutes and as awesome as thats been, every bit of information I've provided you is false and......but Eaton (like myself) went out of character and told me that it was THEY who wasted my time and that they are only paid to speak with people. If they somehow scam (you) then thats your problem. They get paid no matter what.
I think Eaton was actually upset though, he started cursing first in english but then in his own super secret dea language. He did point out that I never fooled him and he knew I was scamming him the whole time and called me a "very bad rascal!" Oh my!
With that, Eaton gently hung-up on me and now you know the rest of the story! Good Day!
