Stating that my SS number had been used in illegal activity.
I asked him to spell Social Security and he hung up!
I don’t think it was legitimate!
Poor scammer…..lol

You should have responded by saying "this call maybe recorded for security purposes"
Bryce Done that and a lot of other verbal antics. Usually it’s me that hangs up but he hung up so fast it was funny! 15 minutes later it was the google bunch. This goes on a lot.

They will never call you. Always notified by USPS. Scam. Yes, they've been running a radio ad stating just that. Just hang up. They are trying to get your SS number. I suppose if they ask for your SS number, you could say, "You tell me. You're the person who told me there was a problem with it." How could they know there's a problem if they don't have your number?
If you don't understand what a loan is, perhaps college isn't for you after all.

Got a call yesterday that caller ID indicated was from Allakaket, AK. I know some folks in that tiny village way up the Koyukuk River far from any road system, so I answered.
Gal tried to convince me that she was calling about my compromised Amazon account.
I asked when Amazon had moved to Allakaket. And how my account could be compromised when I didn't have an account.
Click...!
Pete I get those all the time from google. All are remote areas of Alaska. I have also had legit phone numbers here in Fairbanks used and when I call the number back they don’t know how that happened. We just had the “ hey grandma this is your granddaughter” call for the 4th time.

I got a call from a "Federal agent" one night. I asked him for his ID number. Unphased he spouted off about 6 numbers. I said sir, that ID should be 10 digits...click. I have no clue how many digits it should be, but I knew he hadn't said 10 lol. 20 if their shoes are off

things are bad all over.....gonna get worse. So many folks lying/scamming. Going thru an issue with the state law enforcement and the officers lie on official paperwork, then the head lawyer for them lies to me in e-mails....just to hide minor negliance and not pay a small damage claim...been a year now...still going at it. It is a disgrace.
