We've been getting calls on our phone saying that my husband's social security number was stolen. These calls come in nonstop. I called the ScamPulse.com for help. The ScamPulse.com registered my husband and I for the state and federal Do Not Call List.

I was called on Friday, November 13th with the following story.

I initially spoke to an "Officer David Wilson", Badge #SSA743, in which he indicated I had a warrant for my arrest in the state of Washington. He alleged that my name and SSN was used to rent a Toyota Corolla and that I was being charged with 3 violations for drug trafficking, human trafficking and money laundering. I was provided with Case ID# CA4685631 and Warrant ID# CA6931. I was told that my SSN needed to be changed and that I had to prove my innocence by cooperating with them. I was later transferred to Benjamin S Alpert (not real name of course), Badge #SSA1500775. I looked up his badge # online and it showed his name under the Office of Inspector General. I was told that I was under surveillance and that I could not speak to anyone and that they were monitoring my phone calls. Mr. Alpert also indicated that if I told anyone, the police would be called due to my warrant and I would go to jail. I was also told that I was looking at 14 years in prison and potentially $85k in legal fees. After about an hour of being questioned, I was told that I needed to liquidate my checking & savings otherwise my accounts would be frozen. Mr. Alpert stayed on the phone with me as I got in my car, went to my back and proceeded with the "steps" to prove my innocence.

I was instructed to go to my bank and just leave $1,000 in my savings and checking. Fortunately I left more than that, but Mr. Alpert stayed on the phone while I was in the bank and I was told to remain calm and not provide any details. I was then told that I needed to go to Kroger or Food Lion and purchase gift cards with this money. When I questioned that, I was told that this shows "good faith" and that I could not have liquid cash but it needed to be gift cards. The gift cards had to be Nike, Target or Best Buy. When the gift cards were purchased, I had to take pictures of them to send to Mr. Alpert. I was told that I would be reimbursed this money via cashier's check.

Anytime I tried to dispute and question, Mr. Alpert had an answer. Fortunately I started to feel very strange and did not complete this with all of my cash, but still lost thousands of dollars to this scam. I asked Mr. Alpert for a picture of his badge which he sent to me when the transactions were complete. The picture was of an actor.

When I told Mr. Alpert that I was heading home and wasn't going to do this anymore, he was irritated and told me that I needed to only do what he was instructing. The phone numbers he provided were shortly put out of service.

I hope folks read this and are not found victimized.

I got a call from a foreign guy with a real thick accent named John Miller badge number 45204520 from Social Security saying my number will be terminated. He asked for my birth date and last 4 digits of my Social Security number, which I gave them. I was on the line with him for at least 20 minutes. He asked if I had been to Texas. He said a rental car had been found with blood, money and drugs. He said something about the DEA and the US Treasury Department. He said they had raided the home in San Antonio at the address used to rent the car. He said I was subject to 9 years in prison and fines, but they were looking into it further and couldn't find other charges like this under my names. He told me to make sure I did not discuss the call with a third party as it might be a family member who had stolen and used my identity in Texas. I said I filed bankruptcy, and he hung up.

I was scammed a month ago, Chase called with zero percent interest, and I talked to them about lowering my interest rate. But it was a scammer who called Chase Bank pretending to be me. Chase knew it wasn't me, and stopped it.
