Type of a scam Identity Theft
Scammer knew my Social Security number and told me it would expire at midnight and that he would give me a new one tomorrow. He gave me a laundry list of crimes that were committed under my Social Security number and that I needed to take my bank accounts to $50 and put the rest of my money on “bonds” (gift card) for protection for when my social security number expired. He said he would then register the gift cards with the FTC and with my new Social Security number would put the funds on a certified check the next day. He knew my name, social security number, address, previous addresses, birthday, he knew what banks I had acounts at, everything.
