Tu número de Seguro Social no está suspendido. Jamás.

I received a call now saying that my social security was suspended for suspicious activity. The number is 1 (800) 575-1458. It is a recorder.

Hoy recibí una llamada automatizada en Inglés diciendo que mi numero social ha sido cancelado por actividad sospecha, el número del que llamaron es 1800-699-3259

Thank you so much for this information. I would have no idea without your help about such fraud.

Recibi un mensaje de voice mail el 6 de enero de 2020 diciendome que mi social security estaba suspendido por actividad sospechosa que marcara el 1

When you get these calls, have them tell you what they know, but don't conform or deny anything for them. After you get what you want or just get tired of talking to them, just hang up the phone in the middle of their sentence.

IF you answer your phone ( and if you don’t recognize the number, I wouldn’t), whoever they ask for, even if it’s you, tell them to hold on, I’ll go get them, put the phone down without hanging up, and continue doing whatever you were doing.

Acabo de recibir una llamada de este número ‭+800 8531047‬ diciendo que mi social security está suspendido, debido a que ha habido un fraude. Que presionará el número 1 para hablar con un oficial, cuando lo hice automáticamente la llamada se desconectó.

Can these scammers be prosecuted legally? If so, what steps are being taken to do so?

Hoy recibi una llamada de 786.5808489 en ingles, diciendo que mi SS estaba suspendido por movimientos sospechosos que marcara el 1. y se corto la llamada

Thank you for the heads up. I'm sure they'll be calling me soon they always do.

He recibido varias llamadas diciendo que mi número de seguro social se ha suspendido por actividad sospechosa, que marque el número 1 para que me comuniquen con alguien para solucionar el problema.

Recibí llamada del siguiente número: ‭(626) 479-8679‬Diciéndome que mi número seguro social sería cancelado que para evitarlo ,debería regresarles la llamada .Es sorprendente como personas pueden hacer estas cosas tan feas ,Verdaderamente preocupante .

Acabo de recibir una llamada del numero de telefono 727-777-7617diciendo que me iban a suspender mi numeor de socail por un posible fraude en Texas y que presionara el uno para recibir mas informacion. Cuando lo hice me contesto una persona y luego colgo.

Just got that call yesterday. I thought as much. Hung up. Never thought about it again.

Hoy recibí una llamada de parte de este número 5182204921, diciendo que mi social security number sería suspendido por sospecha de actividad ilegal. Era una grabadora que me pedía marcar número 1 para recibir asistencia. No creo que sea legitimo, para corroborar ya he preguntado directo al sitio web de SSN, en caso que sea necesario, prefiero ir a las oficinas directamente antes que dar información personal por teléfono.

Computers are humans enemy in this day and age. Anyone can get your information from the internet. If the world would go back to pen and paper, we would not have all of these electronic scams and identity thefts like we do. It was harder to steal a person's identity when the government used pen and paper. Easier is not always better.

Yo tengo toda la semana recibiendo esa llamada, yae había empezado a estrar la duda, ahora con esta información me siento más seguro

My respects and consideration Would you be so kind as to inform me what I should do to verify my Social Security number You would be so kind to communicate. I am at your disposal thank you very much

I find it so hard that so many people are taken in by these scams. They must, or the scammers won't stay in business.

I would seriously like to know why the FTC/DNC is not forcing the sources of the calls to be investigated thoroughly? The FTC has the authority to force internet and phone companies to setup programs that check, verify and eliminate illegal calls, but yet the FTC doesn't force them to do this. Make the internet providers and phone companies start to verify every call, it doesn't mean they monitor the call, just verify that it is legitimate by using the IP address of internet or the phone verification process, and this will start eliminating robo-callers because their machine ID will be the soul way of stopping the robo-dialers. Each machine has its own IP/MAC address and it would not be hard to stop any computer generated call fro going anywhere past to internet Controller or the telephone detector . Of course it would take the FTC and other federal agencies to force the makers of those robo machines to set a code that all internet and telephone companies can block. First line of defense is to stop it from the source, then second line of defense is the internet providers and the telephone companies, and third line of defense is for the Federal agencies to impose massive fines (not a few thousand, but a few hundred million dollars for any offense that is caught, trust me if they get caught several times and end up going to jail for 10 + years for each offense it will start eliminating a lot of illegal actions. BUT... The FTC and FEDERAL Agencies need to start by sending out notices and investigating every complaint call, not just one out of every ten thousand complaints, finding the culprits and not only fining the crap out of them but also sending them to jail for illegal actions.

I do not bank online. I do not answer any call whose number i do not know. I was fooled once by someone that I thought was from Apple to fix my computer and I let him on to my computer.From there he got on to my bank account. I had to change all my account numbers and hope that I cured that problem.Never again will I let anyone onto my computer. If I have a problem, I will take my computer to an apple store.

I got this call today and knew it was a scam but what is unsettling is the actual 1-800 number on caller Id matches the actual 1800 number of the social security administration. I am sure there is some spoofing they are doing but it is unsettling.

Hoy recibí una llamada robocaller que mi número de seguro social había sido suspendido. El número es 1 830-292-0150. Lo bloqueé porque son estafadores.

I had a very pleasant conversation with a young lady at the FTC this morning concerning this scam. I was asking her if there was something to augment the do not call list for robo calls - she suggested “nomorobo” app. So I now have that on my cell phone!! Thanks for the great suggestions!

Thanks for this blog...Over the last month I have received two voice messages on my mobile phone and I did answer a third call. The voice messages say "this is the Social Security Office calling to alert you that your social security will be discontinued, due to the SS number being used for illegal activity." The message goes on to say that if you "want to prevent this from happening you need to call immediately." Then what is weird; is the message goes on to say, "If you choose not to return our call then all I can do is wish you good luck!" What Social Security employee would say that to some one? I have not returned the call. The call I answered was different in the description of the situation. It was a call from a woman stating to be an officer for the Social Security Administration. I did not think to write her name down as I was surprised by the call and I could barely understand what she was saying. She said her name was "Officer Patricia or Paula.... something" and that she had been "reviewing a list of social security numbers that were slated to be cancelled" At this point, I asked her to repeat herself, because I could not really understand what she was saying. She, then got very angry and in exasperation, said "I SAID THAT... I was reviewing a list of social security numbers that were slated to be cancelled." I replied, "That is ridiculous!" -Not that I have ever expected to get any SS benefits in the first place, by the time I am eligible, despite paying into it....- I asked her, "Why are you being short with me?" I then repeated back to her, "So, you are calling me to tell me that my Social Security benefits are going to be cancelled?" I asked for her to repeat her name and to speak to her supervisor, at which point she hung up on me. I tried calling the SS Administration to report these potential scams, and after being reminded at length of the details of the limited paperwork laws, my call was placed in queue; at which time, the outgoing message said that "calls were answered in the order they were received" and that I would have a "couple hour hold time." After holding for sometime, I called the my local County Police to report this a fraud, in an effort to be on record. I asked if they could trace the call from the caller ID, and they said that typically the scammers use a burner phone, which is not traceable. They said that they really did not file reports like this, and the officer recommended that I call the GSA fraud dept. to file a complaint. I did this, but the number routed me back to the SS queue line for the over an hour hold time again. I received another phone call / voice mail a couple days later. Per the caller ID, The first was from Capitol Heights, Maryland and the second was from New Hampshire. It's weird that I have received three of these in one month. Grateful, I thought about them being scams, but I do wonder about those elder folks who rely on SS, how they might respond to a call like this hearing that their SS benefits will be discontinued...

Received a recorded message today stating the same thing. Call back number was 215 709-1127

Received a recorded message today stating the same thing. Call back number was 240-489-5140

They keep calling me . today they called 10 times is there anything I can do to stop getting calls ?

I received a similar message today from (713) 331-5536.

My husband received this call twice in one morning and it wasn't from a 800 #. so it went to his voicemail. call back # was 740-365-4952. I called it from my work phone and the people actually answered. When i said "How do i know you are from the SS Dept, they hung up on me".

At 3:13 pm on November 21, 2018, received one of these calls. The number was 224-836-5430, which appears to be a Palatine, IL location. I let the unrecognizable number go to voicemail and the recording sounded like a robocall and not a real person. I had received another one of these calls (robocall and not a real person) earlier in the week, but the telephone number was an Annapolis, MD number, which seems odd (same type of call but from different states). After the first call, I called social security, but waited on hold for a while. I then went to the internet and saw that these calls are a scam.

Thanks for all the posts to alert people about the scam. I got 2 calls from 8007721213 this morning, said that my SSN will be suspended.... So I Google the number and found all kind of info about the scam. Thanks.

I just received one of these scam calls from a bogus "Social Security Head Office" stating my SS# was compromised and would be cancelled --from Union NJ phone number 908 349 0256. Ha yeah, right! A dead giveaway right there. I contacted Social Security on their website, and then I contacted the FTC.

Got 2 calls from 800-772-1213 (the real number for SS administration) and answered the 2nd one. A female voice on the recording told me my SS benefits were about to be suspended due to suspected fraud. I hung up and blocked the fake number thinking, yeah right.

Got three calls from 330-892-8838 today, person claims to be Officer somebody from SSA calling about suspended number. It's a scam, just want to warn others, especially during the holidays when these called are more frequent. Just block them.
