I received a call from " Social Security Disability" and they asked me if I was on disability…they said that someone in my house was, which wasn’t true. I asked them who–and they said my name, which is wrong. I called them scammers, (he was a foreigner) and he hung up on me.

Someone called and said they were from the Social Security Disability Office and that they needed to verify my date of birth and my complete social security number, to process my claim. I have had at least one call a day for the past two weeks. They all are from different numbers. I don’t answer my phone anymore, if I don’t recognize the number.

I received a call that was lady that I could not understand. I was able to hear that I was supposedly under investigation by Social Security for fraud. The caller said they had a warrant for my arrest and to contact her immediately. Next, I received a second call from a man who stated he was from Social Security, too. He said I was under investigation for fraud, also.

Been getting a lot of these calls I usually hang up or avoid using any words like "yes" or I say "I don’t need any bye"but was tired and this guy tricked me into saying " Yes" not once but twice. Not looking forward to see what I bought!

Got a phone call this morning stating they were from a "social security disability service". Got me on the "can you hear me/are you there?" scam. I was half asleep and answered "yes" to one of their questions. I believe it was a scam to gain the "yes" response and possibly obtain more information.

I’ve been getting calls to my cell phone from this number quite a bit. They use the same area code although I no longer live in that area. I decided to answer it today just to see for myself what they were "selling." A man calling himself Jeffrey, said he noticed that I had recently applied for Social Security Disability was that right? I made the mistake of answering "yes" and before I could go on the call was disconnected. I called that number back and was told I already spoke to an agent and I was not qualified. So I’m writing this in hopes others read it and understand that this scam is all about your answer. Just don’t answer the call. Hopefully this won’t go any further.

continue receiving calls from 567-298-7029, when I answered he said he was Joe and the call was being recorded. He was calling in regards to my request to receive social security disability benefits and he wanted to help with the process. When I said Joe he became quiet, repeated the name Joe finally he answered. I said I never called about disability benefits and he hung up quickly. I have received the same call 5 times in one day with the same Joe and the same message. I have blocked from my phone but they continue to work around the block

I received a call on two occasions from 614-801-2084, an individual who called himself "Billy". He said he was from social security disability and then asked me how I was. On each occasion when I replied, "Billy I am not sure who you are calling" then he immediately hung up. My fear is that he was attempting to get me to say something like, alright or ok, to use has a form of accepting some offer or to seek personal information about me. I am not disabled nor have I ever applied for disability. I am, however, close to retirement age.

received a phone call asking to say ‘yes’.

Caller was male named "joe" on a "recorded line". Said I had made an enquiry about SS Disability (not so). Then said "can you hear me?" and without thinking I said "Yes, but I didn’t make any such enquiry".

We have had reception problems so it didn’t seem odd at first to be asked "Can you hear me?"

I am new to the US. Did not know until further research about the "Can you hear me?" scams nor that Government Depts won’t contact via phone. I’m worried now.
