Got unwanted call from 915-832-6000?
Received a voicemail today from 915-832-6000. Woman identified herself as calling from the DEA and said she needed to talk to me about my medical license number. Her manner of speech was suspicious and the number she wanted me to call was not consistent with the 6000 number on caller ID (915-233-8125, EXT 8180). Needless to say, I will not be calling.
I received a phone call from Department of SSI, and informed me that my SSI has been suspended due to suspicion of illegal activity. If I do not contact them immediately, my account will be suspended. I talked to the first agent, and then I was transfer to Moon officer Badge #6560 from DEA office. I questioned him how do I know if this is not scam, he said the DEA number is real, he said he can proof it by calling me back. So he hang out and called from 915-832-6000 and he stated that it was real, not a scam from the DEA authorities. He told me that he will freeze my bank account if I did not listen to him. The only solution is that they will issue me a new SSI number and open a new bank account. The only way is to a new bank account via a gift cards. After the transaction is completed, he will send 2 officers to my house and provide me with the new SSI number, and then transfer the funds back to the new bank account. First, he asked me to withdraw all my money from my bank and purchase Target gift cards. I stupidly believe what he told me that the money I withdraw for the gift cards will be transfer back to my new bank account. I was stupid. I withdraw $10000 and bought him $5000 Target gift cards. The whole time he never hang out the phone, he said if he hang out the phone the account with suspend right away and it will freeze me bank account. When I was about to give him another $3000 gift card code, my husband called me and stop me from doing so. And then I realized it was a scam. I report the incident here, hoping no one will experience the same experience as mine. I lost $5000 and learned important lessons in a painful way.
I got the same call from this number and this is a scam.
Same thing happened to me from “officer Kimberly Smith” tried to get all my personal info and as soon as my brother got on the phone asking if it was a scam they transferred the call to this number and then my brother started to question more so the man hung up.
Scam call today, from this number, first the male said he was with the SSA, then he called back on this number, still alleging he was with the SSA.
India guy said I committed ss fraud in the state of texas, I'm in Wisconsin and cant even get to texas. I told him I'm in no mood for this and he said calm down. So I calmed down and told him too fu** off and I hung up. Phone rang again this time from texas..
I recieved a call from Kevin Muse Badge #526526 with an Indian accent (redDot). He wanted my name and last 4 digits of my ss # i gave him a fake name and made up 4 digits. He put me on hold then came back and said that i was being charged for drug trafficking and that there were drugs and blood in a car rental under my name. Strange!!! i gave him a fake name and ss #. I called him back on a local number that he called me on and some women answered the phone. Then he called me back. he called from 915-832-6000 and it stated that it was the DEA administration. Once i got thru they hung up on me again. BEWARE DO NOT give any of your real information out.
