I got a call Tuesday saying this is the social "security department" is this Krav? We found a car in Texas with drugs in it, no people but it's in your name and social security number is linked to the car and car info?
Then he went on to say, we are transferring you over to a government DEA agent?
Transferred - the guy said this is Keven Smith and I'm working on your case. Started all the questions, what cars do I own? When was the last time I left the state, and on and on.
So he says remember if you lie to me, I'll allow this arrest to go through, I'm trying to hold it off until tomorrow if you cooperate. Your facing 9 years right now unless you help us, if not your be locked up until we find the person who did this. I'm cross referencing everthing, so I might put you on hold now and then. Do not hang up. We are hear.
I laughed, said this is Bullpoop, that's insane. He says everything in your credit cards and bank accounts will be frozen and we will issue you another S.S. number so you can't tell anyone anything and you need to listen to me and go where I tell you go, now to your car. I said why? He said you have to get the money out of your accounts and put them on Google play cards? Everything will be frozen tonight, you will lose everything?
That was enough, I hung up and checked on line and found out about the scam. They where asking about savings accounts, IRAs, anything. Do not give out any more info, hang up and call them your self.
Posing as Government Official? I've never had that happen. Filed a report with the FTC, went to the sheriffs department. They said it's allways the same story, S.S. numbers, car found in Texas with drugs in it linked to your name. He said he's seeing more and more victims of this crime. People losing huge amounts of money. I said but how do they do it? Can't you track all this stuff? He said one method is, they get you to put money on the google play cards, you give him the info so he can reference it, they steal it, and it's a gift card so no we can't find that?
I told him I want to do something. He said they are gone, they are operating in another country with some good technology and they are very smart, and good at what they do. They have a lot of people doing this.
I now have lifelock and I'm also paying epifax to monitor all my info now. I ordered all new cards and changed all passwords just to be safe.
I reported two different numbers for "Phishing". These are the idiots trying to get my E-mail passwords all the time. They always "text message" me from a computer. It's illegal so I'm reporting any suspicious activity. I'm tired of it, protect yourself, be safe, tell your kids, and loved ones, these guys are ruthless pieces of crap.
The next day I'm receiving calls from "Jamaica". I Hang up and block those numbers ASAP.
