Phone rings. I answer. Man says "I am officer Leoblahblah with the Social Security Agency calling to inform you you used your SSN illegally and we are revoking it now. Is this Mills Hichag?" "WHY NO officer 54321, there's nobody here with that name and never has been or will be!"

Scams when I'm bored are a moment of amusing revenge. "Wow, so this is new?" I say. "Citizens pay for a dedicated enforcement branch that can take my own social security number away?" "Yes. What's the number and confirm your name now." "NO SSA rep calls out of the blue. EVER."

"I'm an SSA Houston regional officer. Verify your name or I revoke your SSN now!" "So, regional. Houston and Tucson have the same area code? Okay, Officer SSA. Don't know name, address and SSN but are SSA? Houston, we have a problem. He's not in Texas and he abuses old sick folk?

"SSA is NOT Federal Crime Enforcement. Internal fraud claims related to illegal SS benefits don't just call up randomly. Since you're not an officer of anything you are the criminal scammer. So I'll revoke your SSN. What is it, sir? I can ask legally, you cannot, Officer Outlaw."

"I have all your info Miss. I want to talk about revocation and what you can do to ensure you keep your SSN number." "Oh, I'm sure I will. I'm so sure that I know for a fact you are commiting fraud right now, and breaking some other laws too. What's your SSN, officer of the SSA?"

"I am asking you to verify now! Your Name and SSN. I'll begin revocation." I'm roflmao. "Revoke it!" "Threatening me now? That's a crime." "Well," he says, "Maybe someone got hold of it. If it's theft, I can help." "Great! How many times have you revoked an SSN in your SSA role?"

"Several a day, depending upon the crime." "Several SSNs a day stolen just by one guy in Houston? Is your name Ted Cruz? You're as if not more stupid. NO SSA employee is allowed to ask randomly for an SSN. Citizens can ask but answer by choice/need to banks, DMV and employers."

Click! Hung up. I call him back. HA! "oh, "Officer SSA Houston, thank you so much for letting me record your criminal act. So if a knock comes on your office door, and some person hands you a sealed letter, we'll mask to mask at the Federal building. Code # 520. Meet you in 20!"

"I'm in Houston! Texas." I hear the woman say something gruff in what sounded to me to be Mandarin. "That the boss, Leo? P.S. Tell the boss I am contrary, cruel and what you scammed is grief and a real fraud report. Go call THE LAW! ICE perhaps? What's your SSN for MY records?"

Click! Gone. So I check online, there it is. Pure gold: SSA's Scammer Hotline. That's what it's called FFS. Of course, I want justice, but that was so amusing for isolated sick not confused by bullshit ol' me. That truly stinks. What a cruelty. SSA Fraud Hotline: 1-800-269-0271.

This is apparently widespread now, so it's a group across the USA doing a scam. Team scammers are familiar now since Las Vegas. Neighbors would gang up and pretend to not be in it, but knock or see you at the mailbox and hustle money or try to sell crap, or get into your home :(
