This scam seems to have started only today. I received two calls with exactly the same information. Because I let it go into voicemail I did not get the instruction about Social Security number. These are definitely scammers.
States if I didn't call back they would take legal action. They don't identify themselves in the message they leave.
Got a call from 2293203017 (blocked it), then again from 2292137143 with the same recorded message that unless I call back they are going to press charges...
Claimed they were Social Security and were going to arrest me if I didn’t give them my personal information. I told them to go ahead and arrest me. They hung up.
Two calls today from 229-213-6972 and 229-213-7143 demanding my social security number, that I have committed fraud and they are going to press charges, wouldn't tell me what company they were with. Just that they were sending the local authorities after me!
Got a call stating to call back or they will take legal action. Called back - they are impersonating officers and hang up when asked who they are
Help identify who is using this number!
