SSA scam (740) 218-1928

One Indian scammer fake Mike Allan

@drwat#153286 Had 'em on the line for about an hour… first was Mr. Mike Allen who did the screen - and a really bad job of it at that. Then he said he was transferring me to the Senior DEA agent who will be handling my case. Nope - got a Mr. Asheesh Agarwal (yes, I had him spell it twice!) who was the Head General Council of the SSA investigation division or something like that. He was rather pushy, but I kept pushing at each opportunity anyway. Usual script with just a few twists - first off, the two addresses linked to the title of the rented car was one in Rowlett, and the other was - the address I gave them at the beginning of the call - where I supposedly live! But they only raided the Texas address as they were expecting to find me there.

Other twist, which I thought was kind of cool, was not only was there 22 pounds of cocaine and a bunch of bank records, but they also found a "money printing machine" that was set up to print counterfeit $100 bills, and a stack of $16,000 in $100 bills sitting next to it! Very imaginative, and earned them a few points just for creativity!

Funny thing was that the 'charges' against me were just drug trafficing and money laundering... nothing at all about counterfeiting... go figure!

So things progressed as usual - And I kept interrupting and asking questions. Got to the point where I was to go put my money in the safe guard wallet by going to a government approved store and buying federal vouchers. Then there would be two dudes come to my house at 7pm tonight (I guess they had to expedite things being a Friday) to give me my new SSN and certified check for the vouchers.

Towards the end, it got rather heated - with him yelling at me to shut up and listen, and me arguing that he had no clue as to what he was talking about - he said "Federal Vouchers" and "Walmart Money Cards" are NOT that! After another 5-10 minutes of back and forth, he finally pulled the authority hand and said he was going to have me arrested right then and there. Sort of went down hill from there, with the usual bickering and cursing until he hung up in frustration. I'd rate it a 6 out of 10, maybe 7 given the small creative twist with the money making machine!

@Otis#153307 Yes creative - counterfeit money printing

BTW SSA scammers impersonate these Indian American real officers.

Asheesh Agrawal, Uttam Dhillon, Raja Jindal and Rajive Mathur
