Type of a scam Government Agency Imposter
The calls start with a professional sounding recording stating they are calling from the Social Security Administration and that there has been a problem with the account and it has been cancelled. Today, 08/24/2020, is the fifth time in two weeks that I have been called. The first two calls, I was unavialable to answer so they left the recorded message on my phone. The third time I answered but no one answered on their end. the fourth time when prompted to select 1 to talk to a representative I hung up. Today, however, I selected 1 to speak to the representative. A man who spoke understandable English, but had a major accent, answered the phone. He kept asking leading quesstions like: Why are you calling me today? Is there a problem with your account? and What can I do for you today? After the first question I answered ‘I don’t know you are the one who called me.’ I answered each question vaguely to see how much he would say. He did finally state there may be a problem with my SS account and asked me for the last four digits of my SS number. When I said, ‘No I don’t think I want to do that.’ The phone went dead. During the call I could hear foregin voices in the background talking like it was a call center. The number comes up on my caller ID from Vermont. The two numbers they called me from today are; 316-208-0783 and 314-685-8219.

I have received multiple recorded calls from what is termed the Social Security Administration, saying my account has been fraudulently used and they are locking my account until I press 1 to speak to a representative. All have been from the same area code and first three digits of 773 with different last four digits. These numbers are cell phone numbers. When I called one number back the person answering says they did not make a call to anyone. Someone is piggy-backing on peoples cell numbers for these scam calls. I did not press the number to speak to any representative, I just hung up but blocked these numbers.

It was on Wednesday, November 27, 2019, that I received a phone call from 8008239443 regarding a fraud involving my social security account. The phone call began with an automated voice message that informed me of the above and prompted me to speak with a representative by dialing "1"; I was panicked from the contents of the message and did so, redirecting me to a "representative" by the name of "Richard Miller" who had given me some obscure yet believable case number consisting of three letters and several numbers before phishing out information. Regretfully, I had done as he had asked and revealed to him my first and last name, the last four digits of my social security number, and what banks I deal with; normally, I would be level-headed enough to not do so but personal circumstances at the time had already shook me. It wasn’t until halfway through the conversation after I had revealed the bank I use that I grew suspicious of the other party and politely notified him that I will go to my local social security office to confirm this event, upon which "Mr. Miller" grew belligerent and strongly rejected my notion, claiming that the office had handed him the full authority on this case and I would not be able to pry anything regarding this out of them before promptly ending the call; this attitude cleared my head and screamed that he was a fraud.
Much to my chagrin, it was only after the call had ended that I realized it was extremely suspicious from the start; I don’t mean to be racist but his entirely Anglo-Saxon name did not match with his thick Indian accent which he used to his advantage over the call to muddle pieces of information he had probably made up in order to sound legitimate; the claims he gave in the fraudulent case also didn’t quite make sense to me only after my head cleared up in that he claimed the case had gone on for several months and only now did they decide to take action against my account, that the social security administration did not know my name, social security number, nor my financial status despite having my phone number, and the fraud on my account is being conducted in Austin, Texas which is halfway across the country from where I reside.
It was on Tuesday, December 3, 2019, in which I received a call from either 8009372826 or 8009016278 (both of which are scam calls I received within the same hour but one of them is the same instance of phishing I am reporting). I recognized the automated message to be the same as the one I received on Wednesday and immediately dialed "1" before it even finished in order to see if the "representative" was the same. Much to my amusement, I heard the same bad Indian accent and chuckled a bit while asking, "Hi, you’re Richard Miller, right?" to which he shakily replied, "I’m sorry?" before very clearly claiming I’ve got the wrong number, unlike the previous call where he was being so muddled with a lowered voice; I rebuked it by adding in that I was redirected to him by his messaging system and pressed further by claiming his supposed title as an SSA employee to which he abruptly hung up the phone.
This year and the next I am dismally going to be checking in with the local SSA office on a frequent basis in order to confirm that no fraudulent action is being taken against me; from now on I am going to be extremely wary of such scams and I urge everyone reading this to be equally as wary.

First of all, they call you and there is a loud announcement. Broadcasting that it is the Social Security Administration and there has been fraudulent activity linked to my account. Press 0 for an operator to explain what’s going on. Don’t do it! I work at night. They called me during the day while I was sleep and it sounded so real but I could not wrap my brain around it. They will ask you about what car you have, what bank accounts you have, they want to verify your address. Don’t fall for it. Social Security will send you a letter. They will not call you.

Just received a call and they said they were calling because I just applied for social security disability benefits, which I did not, and they wanted to verify some information. Then he said, "can you hear me okay?" I said, "Yes, but I did not apply for benefits." However they hung up before I finished the sentence. They were just trying to record me saying "yes" so they could use that to try to scam me somehow.
