Victim Location 77344
Type of a scam Identity Theft
They called and left a pin on my VM. When I called back(ironically I put an identity fraud watch on my credit bureaus last night as I have been moving to a new state, and travel a lot)they asked for the PIN… I told them I deleted it. The guy gave me his name and ID. (Ben Collin #00245). He proceeded to tell me fraudulent things had happened with my SS#? I bought it because I was supposed to be alerted and ironically the day after.! He only adk for name and LAST4 of SS# which seemed legit. He then proceeded to tell me I had criminal charges pending on a suspicious drug bust in TEXAS(where I used to live)with a car registers in my name.
I asked more questions and he said he would connect me to officer associated with the DEA. The phone went on Hold and disconnected shortly thereafter!
I called back multiple times with confused answers and getting hung up on. I then called back with another phone and fake ID to solidify my thoughts on fraud. They caught in and told me to “F” off MF!” I am concerned because they have the LAST 4 if my SS# and name. It takes a lot to spoof me but this appeared legit under the circumstances! Please review and take steps necessary to STOP these crooks!
