It looks like +17243185759 is a hotbed for social security scams. Users report calls with threats of arrest warrants, demands for prepaid credit cards, and claims of fraudulent activity on their SSNs. The caller often uses a mix of correct personal details and generic threats to seem legitimate. However, the Social Security Administration (SSA) typically communicates via mail, not threatening phone calls. If you receive such a call, don't panic or share any personal information. Instead, hang up and contact the SSA directly using their official number. Also, consider placing a fraud alert on your accounts and blocking the number. Stay vigilant and report these calls to the authorities to help stop these scams.
They've started calling me again about a social security issue, after several years of silence, yesterday it was someone from India, today it was a caucasion person, I just laugh and hang up on them.
After rejecting the call, I received a message stating I needed to call back regarding an enforcement issue; currently on hold with the SSA office.
I got a similar message, but only heard the part where "she" mentioned "Fraudulent activity" and to call back or face enforcment procedings
Despite receiving the same message, I'm unsure why I'm being targeted, and the threat of legal action seems baseless.
A call was received, claiming to be from the Social Security Administration, but the caller's request for sensitive information raised suspicions of a scam.
The caller provided a badge number and case number and was persistent in their communication.
Upon receiving a call and message from this number, I decided to investigate further and discovered a plethora of warnings and complaints from other users, which only served to heighten my suspicion and skepticism.
Since I don't know anyone in PA, I didn't answer the call, and as expected, the message left was an attempt at fraud. I've blocked the number to prevent future calls.
A message was left on my voicemail, when I called back they claimed I had an arrest warrant and instructed me to meet their representative with a prepaid credit card, they even knew my name, date of birth, and social security number, I hangd up on them and they've called back several times since then.
It's puzzling that law enforcement hasn't put a stop to such activities.
The initial part of the message was inaudible, but the caller threatened to initiate legal proceedings if I failed to return the call, which is inconsistent with the standard procedures of the social security administration, as they typically send letters to resolve issues
When I received a call from this unknown number, I let it go to voicemail, and the message, although unclear at first, eventually threatened legal action if I failed to return the call immediately.
Given my policy of not answering unrecognized numbers, I let this call go to voicemail, where the caller threatened enforcement action if I didn't return the call, a tactic commonly used by scammers.
A call was recieved from someone claiming to be from the Department of Social Security Administration, stating that ther was fraudulent activity on my account and that I needed to call them back, which is obviusly a scam.
