An automated message asked me to press one to speak with someone about my hacked social security number. They said there was "suspicious activity" involving my SS# and asked me to call 480-565-6032 to speak with someone. The give-away other than asking for my SS# was they told me to "have a blessed" day.

This fradulent number calls me & the recording says there is a warrant out for my arrest for fraudulent behavior and that there is a federal database that they are referring to in regards to my Social Security number. Then, they say press one for a poll taker and then I do so and they hang up on me. They called me a few minutes prior to this from a different number doing the same thing!! So, obviously they are trying to scare people to to no end. I am not falling for it.I realize I do not have to answer these numbers to listen to this crap. But, that is not my point here. My point is that they could actually scare elderly etc. and my other point is this applies to me because I’m trying to figure out how they got my number. I would like to know how they got my number So that I can cancel whatever I have signed up for regarding how they got my number.

They call from above number (we screen our calls and do not answer) and leave a message to the effect that our social security number has been compromised and we need to call their number to remedy the problem. Of course, there is NO problem and they are merely phishing for personal information. We completely ignore ANY call from ‘Social Security’ as the real organization will never initiate contact with you via phone or test message.

They called me on 10.30.2019 at 5:29pm CST, I called back because they did not leave a message (at 5:30pm CST) I was on the phone for 4:16 minutes – they kept asking me questions regarding my DOB & SSN – I did not provide any information to them, then they called back at 5:35pm CST 2 times.
I know better than to provide any information to anyone over the phone, plus IRS, any federal/government agency does NOT call on the phone – they send via US Mail.
I called Pensacola Sheriff’s department and spoke with Shalonda at dispatch at 850.436.9620, and she provided me your information to call Scam Tracker to report this plus when I called today (because you were closed) I was directed to go to this website.
If you need to speak to me, I will be more than happy to provide more information if needed at 850.619.1732.
Thank you in advance.

I received a call today from 602 529-3518, claiming to be from Social Security Administration. The recording indicated that my social security number had been compromised and that I needed to call or press 1 to speak with and officer.
Knowing that it was a scam, I played along, pressed 1 and spoke to someone with an accent. He asked for my name and social security number, I asked who was he trying to reach. He called out a name, of which I told him that he had the wrong number.
He then asked for my name, my response was he should know who he is calling. He asked for my name again, I asked him who was he calling.
He then became angry that I would not provide him with my name, cursed and hung up.
This is a news worthy warning piece that should be aired and made available because there are some, especially seniors who will fall for this.
