Anyone Else Getting A Crazy Amount Of Fake Social Security Robocalls Today?

Over 12 calls today, all from different phone numbers, and all with the same stupid and laughably inept fake robo-voiced message:

This message is from Social Security Administration the nature of this phone call is to inform you about some legal enforcement actions filed on your social security number we have got an order to suspend your social at very right moment because we have found many suspicious activities on your social number so before we go ahead and suspend it kindly call us back on our number which is 805-060-9715 extension I repeat 805-609-7150 dot Thank you.

Never-mind the many grammatical errors, but the SSA does not "suspend" your social Security number, nor do they ever call you over the phone with a computer voice to tell you they're doing so.

Sheesh. Does anyone actually fall for this one?

So much for the do not call list.

Hey Aaron;

The scammers clone numbers, so they can get around the "Do not Call" list. I get the same thing plus the ever popular "ductwork cleaning"....I wish the cell companies would do more to nail them, or the FCC.

MrGarabaldi: Sigh, one would think the cell companies and FCC would be doing something useful about such scammers. It seems that 50%+ of the calls I get are just scams, which is annoying.
