Type of a scam Phishing
I started receiving calls on Monday, 11-25-19 from phone numbers 1-800-373-7621 & 1-800-373-6621. I received the first call around 10a.m. or so on Monday. Tuesday I received a call in the afternoon. I answered the phone and it’s automated message this is a law enforcement agency and your social security number has been flagged if you do not get in contact with us, you could face criminal prosecution. Press 1 to be connected with a representative. So, I did. They answered and tried to play it off like I called them, and I said no you called me there was a brief pause and they hung up. He didn’t sound American, guessing a Middle-Eastern accent. I haven’t gotten a call since yesterday when he hung up.

I received a call from 7866404145 on 11-27 around 7:30a.m.gave from Keys, FL, I didn’t answer the first time. Then I received a second call around 11:05a.m. and I answered and a man who had a foreign accent sounded like a Filipino accent and he said I am a police officer and gave his badge number (but I didn’t have a way to write it down). I said what’s this about something about FBI and social security number being taken. He said I need your social security number to help you. That’s when I didn’t give it to him, and I said this is a scam shame on you and he hung up.
