I received a phone call from 7024420224 which is an untracable number.An Indian sounding person said he was from Medicare and wanted information about my bank.I told him I didn't have a bank.He hung up
Just got a call from this number stating they wanted to send me a new medicare card & needed to know what bank my social security check was sent to...I hung up! Person very hard to understand.
This phone number called pretending to be from Social Security, and that they needed our bank account number in order to issue a new Social Security card. BEWARE OF THESE CON ARTISTS.
comes up on caller i.d. as Beaumont, TX. 409-291-5191
The Do Not Call list does help. At least now you know if someone you don't know is calling you on the phone, it's probably a scam. Before the Do Not Call list a bunch of legitimate businesses had to be told to put you on their company's Do Not List, one company at a time and you had no way to know what was a scam and what wasn't.
Don't give anyone any information or confirm any information or call a number given to you when someone calls you on the phone.
If they call again tell them you aren't allowed to have a bank account anymore because scammers overdrew your account and you couldn't pay the bank. (People that happens to are reported to a service that banks use.)
