1. SCAM ALERT: I just got a call from an individual claiming to be from the OIG, Social Security criminal investigation department. The number called from: +1 (929) 552-6695 United States.
They claimed that my bank accounts would be seized & I would be issued a new SSN.

2. As I asked questions, the answers didnât make sense. They said I needed to put my $ from bank accounts into electronic watchers, like gift cards (so they could steal).
I called number at http://oig.dc.gov which had a message explaining scam.

This started with info claiming that my SSN & personal info was better being used for laundering drug money & crimes. It sounded possible, but both âagentsâ I spoke to had thick foreign accents.
As I challenged them, it became clear it was BS. Donât fall for it.
