Tu número de Seguro Social no está suspendido. Jamás.

Te llama una persona que te dice que trabaja para el gobierno y te informa que tu número de Seguro Social (SSN) ha sido suspendido. Parece muy profesional. Así que deberías hacer exactamente lo que te dice que hagas para solucionar las cosas, ¿cierto?

Incorrecto.

La FTC ha recibido reportes sobre estafadores que están tratando de engañar a las personas para quitarles su información personal diciéndoles que es necesario que “reactiven” sus números de Seguro Social supuestamente “suspendidos”. Los estafadores dicen que el número de Seguro Social se suspendió debido a alguna conexión con un fraude u otra actividad delictiva. Indican que hay que llamar a un número de teléfono para reactivarlo – y entonces, cuando llamas, te piden tu información personal.

La cosa es que los números de Seguro Social no se suspenden. Esta es solo una variación más de una estafa de impostores del gobierno para tratar de conseguir tu número de Seguro Social, número de cuenta bancaria u otra información personal. En esta variación del esquema, la persona que llama finge que te está protegiendo de una estafa cuando en realidad te está engañando para que caigas en una estafa.

Estas son algunas recomendaciones para protegerte:

Nunca des ni confirmes información personal por teléfono, vía email o en un sitio web hasta que hayas verificado quién te la está pidiendo.
No confíes en un nombre, número de teléfono ni domicilio de email solo porque parezca que está relacionado con el gobierno. Los estafadores oportunistas usan nombres que parecen oficiales y manipulan los datos que aparecen en el aparato de identificación de llamadas o la información de los domicilios de correo electrónico para que confíes en ellos. Además, el gobierno normalmente se comunica con la gente por correo postal.
Comunícate directamente con las agencias del gobierno usando números de teléfono y sitios web que te conste que son legítimos.

Si alguien ha tratado de robarte tu información personal haciéndose pasar por un representante del gobierno FTC, repórtalo a la FTC.

I received a call that matches this exactly. It was a robo call that went to voicemail saying my SSN is being suspended due to suspicious activity. If I wanted to know more about the case then I needed to press one. The number was 833-579-8604.

I got same type of phone call at 10:54 am ( +1(800) 649-3904) saying your SSN is going to suspend due to some suspicious activities and to take immediate action by press “1” and i was suspicious still I press “1” to know what all this about and I spoke to a lady and I told her ‘ I get a call about my ssn is going to suspend so I want to know and she ask my name and I just pronounced my name because I know it will be hard for her to pick up my name and that happened exactly and ask me to spell my name, so here I ask her is it legit ? At first she was like hmm....hmm and ask her again is it legit? At this point she just hung up on me. It was unpleasant experience.

Add 888-428-6240 to the list of numbers the suspended SSN , press "1" scam is coming from. If my SSN could actually be suspended, that means no taxes from me, right? LOL :D

How did they obtain your phone number? These scammers simply use computer systems that dial random numbers hoping to reach someone who will fall for their scam.

I got a recorded message saying my social security number had been suspended because of suspicious activity. They called from 1-185-415-6332. I don't believe this is in the US

They dial random numbers until they find someone gullible enough to give them info (sadly, there are plenty who do.) As for THEIR number, it would seem they have one of those programs that suto-rotates through a list of numbers. It doesn't mean they are in Manhattan or even in the US. That's just the number that came up in the cycle for your call. My understanding is that most of these calls have been originating from underground call centers in India.

332 is a legitimate Manhattan area code. It was put into effect in 2017 because 212 and 646 are filling up fast. They probably got your number by dialing at random.

Same here! The only thing that worries me is I'm on disability and I didn't know for sure if it was a scam or not telling me that I was about to lose my disability! It's looking more and more like a scam.

December 02, 2019

I keep getting the same call from a (315) area code. I look up the area code and it seems to be coming the Syracuse region. Despite all my efforts to block their call, the scammers keep using different numbers starting with the 315 area code. Has anyone receive any call from this area code?

The reason you have received this phone call from our dept. is to inform you that we just suspend your Social Security number because we found some suspicious activity. So if want know about this case, just press 1, thank you." They left no call back number. Boo-hoo me. Phifft!
