Received info from my bank warning of a SSA scam targeting the elderly & disabled. The caller claims to be from the SSA & says they need to verify your info or you won't get your check. This is a SCAM to get your SS # &/or bank info so do NOT give this info to the caller. Best just to hang up.
When you think about it, it's a no-brainer cuz the SSA already has your SS # so they'd have NO need to call & ask you for it.
NEVER, NEVER, NEVER divulge your SS #, birthdate, banking info or credit card/debit card info to anyone who calls, comes on your door or sends you junk mail (emails included) asking you for it, claiming to need it for verification purposes. It's a scam!
Smile... it makes people wonder what you're up to!
Please identify yourself in 1st email w/name/username. Due to recent problem trades, if I haven't traded w/you before, I will probably require you send your end 1st or I'll need LEGIT trade references/feedback. I will be happy to provide the same. IF you plan to hold your end til you've received mine, I will need to know that IMMEDIATELY, BEFORE trade is finalized.
1|1|Another scam call to me today ..inside..|Skaytes|skaytez@gmail.com|17:54:28|11/25/2011|
Was from Nevada..traced the number online and it goes to a telemarketing place in LV area. They call you by your name several times..in fact ask if this is "so and so" to verify it's you when they call..then procede to tell you they are 'x' company..affilated with Megamillions and another lottery..forget which. I also seen posted online the rest of the scam (I didn't finish listening to the whole scam..hung up) but apparently they go on to try to convince you to buy a $500 visa green dot card and send it someplace etc. The 'kicker' when I refused to listen any further and was getting ready to hang up, he said "God bless". Come on..God IS gonna get you for that one when you are scamming everyone?!! LOL! I did call the sherriff's dept just to let them know. Gal there said they gets tons of calls of reports like that everyday..even here in my very rural area. Sad to think these people pray on the elderly and already poor people who are desperate and gullible to these disgusting people. :(
