?Ever wondered why a stranger claims to have your Social Security Number and promises a courier? These calls typically try to steal personal data or extract money by posing as a debt collector or government agent. Never confirm your SSN, birth date, or banking info to an unknown number, even if they give a reference code. Hang up, note the number, and block it on your phone—most devices let you do this instantly. Report the call to the FTC at reportfraud.ftc.gov and consider a complaint with your state consumer protection office. If a family member was targeted, keep any voicemails as evidence and advise them to ignore further contact.
Our experience with this number has been similar to others, with the caller attempting to reach my son and then failing to answer return calls.
This number contacted my workplace, saying they had a file with my name and ssn, and a courier would deliver something to my adress
The caller appeard as unknown on my id, I listend to the voicemail then blocked the number when it was reveald, they are harasing me and even called my family member, I have completly blocked them
During the call, the representative claimed to have documents linked to my name and social security number, mentioning a courier would be sent to my address. However, the name they used, Valeria Valentine, does not match the one associated with my social security number. A reference number, 149678, was provided when I called back
They contacted me, claiming to have found some documents with my name and ssn, but they didnt even have my correct name, and wanted me to call them back with a reference number, it seems like a scam, should I report it?
Apparently, they are debt collectors
During the call, they wanted to verfiy my SSAN before sending a courier, but they didnt respond when i asked for their company name.
They called me twice in 3 weeks but didnt leave any message, i dont answers and will block the number soon.
