I recd a ph call at !:30 PM today from Charles Brown who said he was a Social Security Officer. He said he was calling because a SS No. came out as a fraud. Aa rental car has been rented in my daughter’s name and there was blood in the rental car; there was a lot of money; and there was a lot of drugs in the car. If I did not talk to them they were going to shut the SS card down. He was trying to obtain the SS card no. for verification. He did not have much information and he said if I did not answer his questions he was going to lock the SS no. up.
He wanted me to cooperate w/him so we could be given a new SS no. I just hung up on him.

They call my landline phone. It is a recording saying he is officer Dale Stone with social security administration & that legal action will be taken against me that my number has been fraudulently used & I need to call them back at 410-773-9249. I called them & he said my # was used in Texas in a fraudulently way and wanted me to verify my full name & address, which he had. I told him that was not my address & that I knew he was a scam that my s.s. Office would not call me like that. He got really rude. I hung up. Then he called back himself & I hung up again. They have called 9 times in 2 hours. I finally took my phone off hook.
