I just got another call from this number. This time he said he was calling to tell me he was sending out my new social security card. This man with an Indian accent has called me before and I recognized the voice from previous calls, with different scams. I told him to hurry up because I was busy, and he hung up.
Said they were from the Georgia state Medicare office trying to send me a new medicare card and needed to verify my address.... Said he could not use my social security number to verify but could use information on where I bank and the name I use.... they also wanted to know if I deposit my social security check in a Georgia Bank. He sounded like he was from Sri Lanka, I know the accent..... and there was a loud phone bank sounding room behind him. He was very pushy. He finally hung up when I kept saying that he could send me postal mail and that I NEVER do business on the telephone.
Said they were from Social Security Administration , needing to verify my identity for issuance of medicare card and proceeded to name me and needed my bank and account number which is closed and they got wrong anyway. Also sounded Sri Lankin,
Same thing just happeded to me.Said they would cancel my medicare card if I didn't give them the name of my bank and they would read off to me my bank account number to confirm I was who I was.Iprobably screwed up and did give the bank name but I wondered how far they would go.Then they waited till I got a bank statement and waited till I found the number.I told them I couldn't find it, and would call them back..They hung up! They spoke broken English.
Said he was with Medicare and before he could say more I asked if he thought I was stupid that Medicare did not make such calls. He was a Mexican and he hung up. Do they think that people on Medicare are dumb?
Said they were going to issue a new Medicare card and wanted to verify my banking account number and even read it off to me to verify. Told them is was the wrong number. I told them I did not do business over the phone because of all the scams going around. I told them I would call Medicare office and they hung up. They spoke broken English.
