Social Security scam...
..it's back. I received a phone call this morning from Social Security man (middle east accent) asking me to verify my SS number.

So, I gave it to him..

1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9.

He hung up, but I don't know why.

Here's the link to reporting SSA fraud telephone calls: https://oig.ssa.gov/report-fra...raud-waste-and-abuse

I hope some of you will take the time to file a report if you get a call. Takes under 5 minutes. The only way to build cases for action and possible prosecution is to file a report.

Got it, thanks and I have reported the scam phone call.

You guys are lucky, you just need to verify. I am going to be arrested by the Federal Social Security Administration for criminal use of my SSN. Got the call before Thanksgiving, I expect LEO will be at my door in a min..............


Let me help you out. Which way did you come in?

Call them back around 100 times in a row. Each time they answer, scream into the phone.

I did a few months ago...2 different times (I guess two separate scams called me). I haven’t gotten a call since.

I busted hundreds of you guys before I retired. Shipped you all off to a FEMA camp in black SSA helicopters. When you hear the helicopters, you know your time is short.

One of George Burns' old jokes was that he was sol old, his SSN was "6".

Very clever........
