Got unwanted call from 866-887-8997?
The toll free number called my land line number 3 times this afternoon, twice they mentioned on my answering machine that I needed to call about my social security number is trouble. I didn’t answer the phone number.
automated call stating my SS# was used in illegal action and I needed to press 1 to be connected to prevent my SS from being blocked.
do the smart thing... DO NOT ANSWER!! if you do....they sell your number as a good prospect to other solicitors! DO NOT ANSWER!!!!! If it is someone who knows you... THEY WILL LEAVE AMESSAGE FOR YOU!

Called stating my SSN was hacked, wanted me to give the last 4 of my SSN, not going to happen. Wanted to open up a case for me.
Calls me on my cell on the hour. Many times in a row.
They wanted my SS# Said they were going to suspend my social security number as it was being used in fraudulent activity.
Claims to be law enforcement agency and that my SSN is "suspended".
Yes, these numbers (8778763171) and (8668878997) are called me as OIG Inspector General, many times and the recorded message is exactly the same as a real social security office and they say please wait and then the call end. So I call the number again, then some one answer me. I say this number called me, he asked me what is your name, and last 4 digits of your SSN (Their accent is English Indian) and they clam that my SSN is used by some one and he use many bank accounts and then asked me which bank your are using and how much exactly you have. Then they ask you to be protected you have to transfer all your money from your bank from any store. I feel after this story that they are a scam so I just cut the call. But I blam my self that I give them my last 4 digits of SSN. I think police sould search the address of those number, my friend also have a same stuiation but he have a true caller.
