Just Got The SS Scam call

shaggygirl — Fri, 21 Sep 2018 13:29:39 GMT

First few words of the robo voice didn't record but got the better part of the call. Of course it's urgent that I call them back. Said it was the SS Administration calling and something about suspension of my SS number and the Federal Crime & Investigation Dept. My caller ID said Bayside, NY. Phone number 347-704-7649

Suspension of your SSN? Do you become 000-00-0000 then?

@SharkE and anyone else waiting for their cards!

After reading some of the other threads and posts about some receiving their cards and others not, I kept thinking I should have gotten my card months ago!

I had moved and also changed my address with them when I moved.

So I called the other day and they said they were waiting for verification of address!

Well, nice that they are being cautious with this extra security but how would I know to call and verify unless they sent a letter asking me to or called (which they don't unless calling you back!)

Well, thats the government for you.

Anway, I'm glad I called. I verified my address to them and they said now it will take 4-6 weeks to get new card.

I would have been waiting and waiting...

So I would suggest calling them and seeing what the hold up is!

Shouldn't have to but I guess thats how it usually goes.

They have the distribution schedule on Medicare.gov.. You can even get an email when your card is on the way. (Yes I know this is unrelated to SS scam - just responding to specific Medicare card post.)

I just figured if they're mailing out state by state then by Tx being at the end of the line I'm gonna have a long wait. Guess Wisconsin will have even longer wait.

Seems like they got till April to cover the world LOL

YES, suspension of my SSN. Guess I won't be seeing my auto deposit next month. Won't be able to eat nor pay bills. Oh boy. I better call them back.

@shaggygirl No I haven't had that pleasure yet. But I'm ready with my rebel flag! I may even go buy a motorcycle. I've never been suspended in my life for anything but I'm ready to be a real bad butt if they insist.

@phoenixbrd I'm a bad lady! Billy the Kid ain't seen nothing yet. If a train runs through your neighborhood, wave to me as I'm riding through with all my zeroes painted on my leather jacket. Yee haw! Lock up your kids! Laura's coming to a town near you!

Here's my take on phone calls I may answer - if the 'caller' doesn't greet me within 3 second of my greeting I hang up.

@SharkE. It's not done in alphabetical order. Texas is being done in September. The list also shows the August mailings are not totally complete yet.

Re: Just Got The SS Scam call

SharkE — Fri, 21 Sep 2018 15:51:52 GMT

No, it's done STATE BY STATE

@SharkE. Yes it's being done state by state. It does a group at one time by geographical location. There is a list. Google schedule for Medicare cards. It is all laid out there. Not in alpha order.

my group of states were Conneticut, Maine, NH, NJ, NY, RI, and Vermont. They were all mailed out in July.
