also for anyone thinking that i posed as federal government. that's not true. i am a contractor in the federal sector. i just lied about the number being traced.
i got the same call but it sound like a scam but i dint give them any money but he asking me to go to the western union so he can wired me 5,600 .he still keep calling
I am a Western Union agent and can tell you 150% that this is a SCAM! Please, dont give any personal information out to anyone that is calling you. DON'T GIVE OUT ANY PERSONAL INFORMATION TO ANYONE OVER THE PHONE. If the caller says that is about your account, then they WILL have access to the information they need and will not ask you to provide any of that. If you do give out your account numbers, you need to call your bank or the company that holds your credit account and explain what happened and they will shut the account down before too much damage is done. If you give out your SSN, call the SS administration office and tell the what happened, they will tell you what you need to do. DONT FALL FOR THIS SCAM!!!
I'm getting the call now, they say they are the US government and bla bla bla... I'm looking at the comments and I think I am going to try and get them. I will keep you posted.
I am a contractor for the federal government and I have been getting these calls. I gave them the info the first time, but shut off my card before they could take anything. Now they are telling me to go to western union. The only concern I have is that they got the last four of my social, of course they do not have the first 5 digits, so im pretty sure just the last four is unusable.
I got em back. They lie to me I lie to them. Told them I was in the federal government and that they committed a felony. They cussed at me and ran like little scared B*****s.
