Call for ssn field

if your social security number gets compromised your identity can literally be stolen social security number scams are more popular than ever so listen carefully to the ones that are trending this week my name is dom i'll be your host while you're watching scam detector the number one scam on this list is literally happening this week so make sure to watch till the end to find out what it is now before we dive into the scams let me briefly explain why social security number aka ssn scams can work so those nine digits can work as authenticators which means that authorities assume that only you would know them so essentially if a criminal gets their hands on your social security number they can basically steal your identity if people hear that something is wrong with their social security number they get scared and will want to fix it immediately and if people are more spooked than aware they might as well become a victim of one of the scams i'm about to talk about number four suspended security benefits or number this is one of the good old telephone scams you get a call from a random number and i say random because the actual number can be different each time when you pick up the phone an automated voice message will say something like the this we called today is to tell you that your social security benefits were suspended due to suspicious activity if you want to find out more about this case press number one i mean that sounds pretty serious right so of course you press number one then a real person will pick it up and ask for all kind of personal information you know banking details phone number facebook password maybe your fingerprints even and not measure social security number and the more info you give in the deeper it will get that you're in at this point now if you want to avoid the scam the one thing you have to note is that the ssa social security administration doesn't suspend your card at this time and you also have to be really precautious with the information you share over the phone i mean not sharing your personal information over the phone is how not to get scammed 101 number three social security stimulus so when people are short of money due to losing their jobs because of a well i don't know pandemic for example doesn't really happen too often but anyway people will receive their stimulus checks and probably seek out every financial aid there is in this example scammers target people who are receiving social security disability checks victims of this scam stated that they met people who told them that they were eligible for federal stimulus or educational grants even if they didn't attend school of course in order to get them money they will have to provide their personal information social security number and banking details then an income tax return would be filed on their behalf and then a refund would be deposited on their accounts this is really freaking complicated who wrote the script now this could be a really serious situation because the false return could create a number of problems and it can even lead to the victim losing their social security disability income now if you don't want to be a victim of this scam just be really precautious with what you share over the phone mainly if it's about your personal information and one other thing to note is that you can get a federal grant that you didn't apply to number two fake social security administration employee now i think it's something that everyone is supposed to know but the more you share about yourself online the more risk you put yourself at and the next scam perfectly proves that you get a call from a fake social security administration employee informing you that you are being investigated for fraud like wait what i'm a criminal now and these dudes are straight-a students and they did their homework on you by checking your social media where you literally post about everything and now in the possession of all that information about you they can seem legit in the conversation now if you've been a good guy all your life this could really look out of order because you don't just become a criminal all of a sudden but these scammers also know that so they use official verbiage in fact so you would believe them and once they feel like they hook you in enough they start asking for the usual information about yourself you know social security number facebook password i already said that joke and if you're actually negligent enough and you share those information about yourself it can lead to identity theft or credit card charges and neither one of them is really good like i like being dumb and i like my money on my credit card so the best way to avoid this scam is to be careful with what you say over the phone and also if you really want to post about everything on social media just use the proper privacy settings for god's sake and now let me present you the hottest social security numbers camp that is happening this week like like this cam is so hot that if it was this iphone case it would be so freaking hot number one social security administration visit now this last scam is slightly similar to the previous one you receive a call from somebody who is claiming to be working for the social security administration aka ssa he tells you that the ssa will have a home visit over at your place and you're like okay but they obviously need some information about you before the scheduled appointment nothing nothing extraordinary though you know just your social security number other personal information banking details credit card number maybe but definitely not your address now fortunately many people don't fall for this scam because it seems a bit suspicious right at the beginning you know many people just laughed it off and tell them to swing by they don't know the address anyway because they didn't ask for it but these scammers call hundreds of people each day and by the law of big numbers some less careful individuals will fall for the scam and if they share their social security number and other personal information the next thing they'll know that they are victims of identity theft now i'm not even going to tell you how to avoid this scam because it's so freaking obvious just don't freaking share your personal information over the phone that's it it's that simple but that is the video for today i hope you enjoyed and i hope i could share some useful information with you and if that's the case please give this video a big thumbs up and subscribe to
