Joe,
There is a telemarketer ( toll free number ) that calls your cell phone and leaves a message as noted below.
"your social security number has been compromised, and if don't return the call, you'll be arrested" ...I'm advising folks these knuckleheads just want you to give them your social security no.
thanks,
local readers
No one's canceling your social security number. IRS sends scam warning
Ha ha ha ha ha ha...
ReplyDeleteI get a couple of calls per week
ReplyDeleteRemember when Elizabeth Warren said she was going to stop all the scammers? Typical all talk no action Democrat.
ReplyDeleteAnswer those calls with "Special Agent Smith speaking. This line is being recorded." They immediately hang up.
ReplyDeleteThis has been going over a year. Same message from lots of different numbers. however I just spoke with them about a hour ago and Patricia kept saying my social of 8675309 was invalid???
ReplyDeleteI just got that message 10 minutes ago on my cell phone. I looked it up. It's from a call center in Pakistan. Wish there was a way to find these people and lock the up!
ReplyDeleteSocial Security Administration never calls you.
ReplyDeleteYou have to go to their office and take a number and wait to be seen
Just think?! Who falls for a scam like this?! Especially in 2019?? I get them all the time. Delete, delete, delete. Block, block, block. So easy A CAVE MAN CAN DO IT.
ReplyDeleteOh thanks 431
Deletelove ya brother...
.but, Joe site is a way to relay information to one another...
Some folks just need a casual reminder from time to time...
but, your input is noted brother
I appreciate your trying to be a nice person and share this information.
ReplyDeleteI put the phone number in google and will tell you who it is.
ReplyDeleteAnswer “this is Morpheus and you are in the matrix.
ReplyDeleteOther scam calls include "you missed jury duty and pay fee to avoid arrest".."your son/daughter arrested, pay us for bond".."your bank/phone etc. account compromised, give your password/code to verify".. these dirtbags should be publicly shot for scamming people, especially when victim is elderly....a few public executions might stop some of them...
ReplyDeleteAnyone naive enough to fall for these kinds of calls deserve what they get. Use some common sense.
ReplyDelete1012 am.....great point
Deletebut Mark Twain once said
"common sense ain't too common "
