Fraudulent Activity On Social Security: Fill & Download for Free

I’ve gotten the “We’re going to suspend your SS # for fraudulent activity”.The “gentleman” with the obviously foreign accent (glad everybody is working, but seriously, we all know the accent if the first clue something is wrong) tells me he is Agent Steve so-and-so, and there has been fraudulent activity reported on my SS# and it is being suspended unless I can prove it’s mine. I ask him for the last 4 digits.Of course, “for my security”, he can’t give me that. I have to confirm it.I’ve given him several variations of the numbers that correspond with a certain four letter word and it was about the fifth call (I lead a boring life, and this entertains me) when he finally caught on. He started yelling that I was messing with the government, and he was going to have me arrested.I giggled, and quoted from the Social Security Administration website exactly how they don’t call and request verification of our numbers, and anybody who does is a scammer. He blustered, and flustered, and threatened legal action. My response was to again ask his name (he’s an idiot, because he gave me the same one each time), record his phone number, and let him know I was calling the Attorney General for verification - he hasn’t called back - and now I’m stuck with the Windows people, the car insurance people, and the “free” trip people.My husband has more fun with the car insurance people - the tells them it isn’t possible for him to be in their records, because he’s blind and rides a bike everywhere. One woman actually asked him how he can ride - he replied that his guide dog actually pedals the bike, and he’s in a big car seat on the back - I think they lost his number finally….

Every time my mother contacts me, it’s for something she wants. She needs. She needs me to know. She’s never called me just to talk. She’s never tried to spend time with me because she wanted to. She’s only done so because she had to. Honestly, I stopped asking for her to do things with me around the age of 8. It made things easier.I’ll start on the matter of trust by saying that if I am going to trust someone, I want for them to trust me in return. Trust me to handle my business. Trust me to do the things I say I will. Just generally offer me some sort of trust at all. My mother doesn’t trust me. At all. Anything small that happens to her is suddenly, overwhelmingly, my fault. Let me give you an example.The last time I spoke to my mother was 2018. Yesterday, I received a text from her out of the blue:I’ve said before, my mother is not the brightest bulb on the tree. She needed me to pause the movie WALL-E while we were watching it and explain the plot to her, because she didn’t understand what was going on. She constantly berated me while growing up for being an idiot, or not doing well enough in school when I managed a “B” on individual assignments. I won’t even go into what happened when I got an “F” on a reading assignment (Not through any fault of my own, might I add).A quick Google will paint a clear picture to everyone. You can’t suspend a social security number. In fact, the Wall Street Journal published an article about robocalls on this exact issue. So, let’s say you’re a parent and you get a robotic call saying your Social Security number is being suspended because of fraudulent activity in Texas. Do you:a. Look at the phone number, maybe Google it to see where it came from?b. Google the claim. Perhaps it’s a scam?c. Look up the logistics of a Social Security Number being “Suspended?”d. Text your daughter, who has had nothing to do with you for two years, and accuse her of fraud.If you picked “d” congratulations, you’re a crap parent. Two days straight of this nonsense, and proving not only that it was a fraudulent call, but the phone number came from Kansas wasn’t enough to fix this. I had to explain to this woman that the US Government doesn’t call people. They send official mail on US government letterhead to prove their point. All through the conversation I’m being called a liar and a thief.The woman doesn’t have anything I’d want. In fact, and this is the real beauty of all this, my mother stole my social security number while I was a minor, and used me for credit checks. On all my credit reports her name is listed as an alias. Isn’t that great?Now, I’ll be completely transparent here. Why does my mother think I’m frauding her?When I went to college, she took out loans in her own name called a “Parent Plus” loan. I promised her I would take care of all of it. She’d never have to lift a finger. True to my word, yearly she sends me what I need and I go through the income driven repayment paperwork, and file everything. I pay everything on time, and she’s never even seen the loan website.Why?Because I don’t think she’s capable. Not only that, but I made a promise. Even if I hate her, and want nothing more than to default on these loans to teach her a lesson, she trusted me. Unlike her, I’m accountable for my promises. I am trustworthy. I do not lie. I only want the same in return, but she’s never trusted me, and never will. She lies to me constantly. Since my father left the picture and subsequently returned 11 years later, it’s been nothing but lies, and I had to read court documents to find out the truth.I will never trust anything this woman says to me.I trust my mother to lie, swindle, cheat, and martyr her way into my bank account though, so in a sense, sure I trust her.

What happened? Did you get one of those phone calls that said your SSN was cancelled due to fraudulent activity? They're bullshit. Ignore it. It's a scam. Your SSN is still perfectly good.If it were really cancelled for some reason, it would have been replaced — not just cancelled.
