If you receive a phone call from anyone claiming to be from the Social Security Administration and working for the government....(depending on what they say, use your judgement) HANG UP!
I got a phone call about 30 minutes ago from some guy that sounded like he wears a towel on his head. He told me that since i was a good citizen and have always filed my taxes on time and no criminal record , that i was qualified to receive $300 per month for 6months from the government. I knew right away this was BS! I said "okay" in a YEAH RIGHT voice...he started to say "you don't beleive me?"......THAT right there is also no way to talk to any customer or person on the phone, completely unprofessional.
I decided to play along to see what he wanted from me. He asked me if i still live at my home address......HE had it in front of him and read it to me....i NEVER gave it to him! He also had my MOM'S cell phone which i borrowed to make some dentist appointments today. I have no idea how these people got my mom's number or how they related it to ME.
When he asked for a bank account to have the funds deposited in , i said "i don't have one"....and i DON'T. He said calmly, "no problem, is there a family member with an account?".......i said "No....and i don't give out their information EVEN if i had it!".....
He said "sorry you will forfeit this offer since you don't have a bank account"......
I then said " THIS IS A SCAM!, IF THE GOVERNMENT WANTED TO SEND ME MONEY , IT WOULD COME IN THE MAIL IN FORM OF A CHECK!"......he said (and i could tell he put the phone right on his mouth) "if you think this is a scam, then you MOTHER***er and rambled off who knows how many cuss words! I butted right in on his 3rd or so word and called him every name that would roll off my tongue and ended it with F YOU and hung up!
This email is to warn you..... do not beleive this kind of crap! People like this, are scammers, hackers and a lot of times murderer's too! There are a lot of people in the US that get screwed by these people on a daily basis and some times go to their country to finalize some HUGE deal that doesn't exist......they don't make it back home! DEAD.....
there have been instances these people are hiding out in the US trying to scam money so they can bring more people over here. These people don't care about your life and don't care about theirs! These people will come to your home if they can make it and rob you, kidnap or kill you and anyone else in your home.......just to get your money and valuables. This is not a joke........this is very real! You don't see it on the news all the time......the media does not spread this type of thing because it causes wide spread panic and can cause wars.
Do a google search on scams and murder etc....beleive me you will read some amazing horror stories.
I called the police after i got the call and reported this. I am going to have the police run a trace on their call as it only showed up as 1023 on the ID.....hopefully the call came from overseas.....because these assholes know my address!
