These is the second call stating that they are the fraud department for the Social Security administration. Says he is Officer something and than ask for my social security number. They say they will take legal action but won’t tell me for what unless I give my SS#, which I did not.

Started out stating that was with SS fraud department. Wondered if I had received info in the mail about my case. I told him no.
I asked his name and he said he was officer Mike Wilson. ( he was a foreigner)
Then he asked if I had mental health issues or handicapped.
I asked what did that have to do with Social security fraud?
He then asked if I was seeking psychiatric help. I told him I was perfectly healthy and I have never received psychiatric counseling.
Then he asked what my husband thought of my health issues.
I told him he was dead. He asked if I was the reason he was dead.
I then told him he was a very very sick man and he should get some help. He then hung up.

I called the social security office and not even three minutes later someone called my house number (social security only has my mobile number). The message stated that my social security number had been fraudulently used and that I needed to call the fraud department. When I did call the number (which was the same number the phone # showed up as on my phone) the woman answered the phone "social security fraud department, how can I help you?" I told them what had happened and she stated I would need to give her my name and SSN and she would direct me to the right department. I told her I wouldn’t do this and she said some very rude and inappropriate things to me. I hung up the phone and called the Social Security Department and told them before calling the BBB.
