Got thru, but line dropped. Now it says the party you are calling cannot be reached…

4 minutes after the first post... is that a record of some kind?

@guest_maga#151590 They still be answering… guy asked for my full SSN and I gave him an ear full and hung up. We gotta break them of these nasty habits!

Hangs up after I ask about why they called. How do these chutiyas even make money?

@Chutiyaslayer69#151669 Asking why they called probably isn’t the way to their hearts :wink: The recording says to call them regarding some activity against your SSN, so just tell them you are calling them as requested.

I just got off the line with a John Martin... he did the full SSN bit, and I gave him the SSA won't ask for a full SSN and even says so on their web site speech. He kept at it though, saying "This is a toll free number for the SSA and we need to verify we are speaking with the correct person". I called his bluff, and said "Oh hell no... you don't work for the SSA, and this is a VoIP phone line, that is, your phoning over the internet - not through the telephone network. In fact, my tracer shows that you are not even in the US at all - right now, it's pointing to somewhere over in Asia... probably India or Pakistan - give me a minute and it will pinpoint you". Click.

@Otis#151695 Funny chit… got online with a Mr. Jason Hill as granny - a forgetful 70 year old widower who rides a Triumph motorcycle! Easy to throw this guy off track… perfect example; he gave me his name and badge number, then proceeded to give me the case ID#. When done, he asked for me to repeat the case ID, so I read back his badge ID. He started into the script: “Ok, now the reason we are… wait… that was my badge ID! Can you repeat back the Case ID?”. I said I was sorry, and proceeded to read back the phone number I had called him on - “8 3 3” pause “9 4 3” pause “2 1 9 3”. He said “OK, now the reason we are contacting you…” and just proceeded on with the script as normal.

Did have to give him a full SSN, but it was accepted. And I did have to spell out my address, including the house number, like "one four six three...." which took like 10 minutes alone. Really dumb cookie.

Unfortunately, the call got cut short as my wife started doing something on the other computer and sucked down all my bandwidth - I'm in the boonies and have a really slow internet connection. By the time I could tell her to stop doing whatever it was she was doing, the call had degraded to the point where he hung up in frustration.
