How to Deal With Being Victim of a Social Security Refund Scam (Real Examples)

Two examples below

Jessica

Jessica recounts her experience about getting calls from various people at various times offering her a refund of $500 from her social security. She has been told that since she has always paid her taxes on time, and has no criminal record she is eligible for a refund.

When she asks for the caller’s name the person gives a common name, but speaks ‘with a thick foreign accent’. Jessica got suspicious when everybody asked for her bank account information in order the credit the money directly into her account. She has refused to give out the sensitive information, because she is pretty certain that it is a scam.

Matt

Matt said he got the 500 dollar SS scam too.  The person called up from 910000000000 and asked for bank info from him but Matt did not give it to him.

‘”He asked ‘Why don’t you want 500 dollars?”  I replied that I didn’t believe that there would be 500 dollars.  He went on from there at which time I let him have it indicating that there was no such legislation passed that would provide a $500 social security refund.  He hung up but I got a missed call the next day from the same number.’
