Oh No!!!! Still another Social Security phone scam.

It seems to be relentless – the ends to which criminals will go to try and get at your money. Right on the heels of the scam where impersonators say your Social Security benefits are being suspended unless you pay a fee, comes another even more insidious scam. This one is a call from someone impersonating law enforcement saying that your Social Security number was found in a drug smuggling bust and you are a suspect under criminal investigation for drug-running. Of course, the follow-up to the accusation is to get you to reveal your personal information to “confirm your identity,” thus enabling the scammer’s access to your money.  Pervasively, this scam doesn’t only target seniors but also American adults of any age. As always, don’t fall for tactics like this or anything remotely similar, as explained in this Detroit Free Press article by Susan Tompor. Click here to read more.

  1. I just received a call from this phone number 6125642936, it was a recording first stating that my social was under investigation for fund use. The recording told me to call the same number I stated earlier about the matter, and so I did. Once I called back the man said he was from the Social Security Office!! So I asked him for his badge number, his name and what office that he was calling from!! He was quiet so I repeated myself and he hung up the phone. I called back and the message said that my call was rejected. My opinion is that it is sad that people are aloud to stoop so low praying on inicient old people who doesnt know any better. This person r people sould be stopped and thrown in prison, than maybe they will learn not to take avangege of people
