Residents are reporting Social Security arrest warrant threats and auto warranty robocalls from the 570 area code. Scammers use fear of jail time or expensive car repairs to trick you into paying them.
Bizarrely threatens to suspend your "socialist very right moment" and issue an arrest warrant over legal enforcement actions.
"Hi, this an Officer Smith from Social Security Administration we would like to inform you regarding some legal enforcement actions filed on your social security number... We will have to suspend your Social Security Number and issue and arrest warrant against you and arrest you."
Relentlessly robocalls up to 20 times a day refusing to identify their company while pushing fake warranty extensions.
"I've gotten SEVEN phone calls from this number TODAY alone and the caller said they were from the 'warranty dept. and wanted to check the make and model of my car' but NEVER identified what company they were with!"
Announces a recorded line and asks "Can you hear me ok?" to maliciously record a "yes" response for fraudulent contracts.
"They are trying to record you saying the word 'yes.' The first thing they say is: 'I'm so and so calling on a recorded line.' They immediately ask 'Can you hear me ok?' Of course you can and you answer 'YES.' They now have your voice recorded saying 'YES' to whatever they screw you with!"
Claims a problem with your bill and requests you read your account number to fraudulently switch your energy supplier.
"Claims to be from penelec. Asking for me to get my bill so they can verify my account number. Something about you qualify for a special discount on your bill"
Curses at victims who refuse immediate credit card donations or ask for mailed information regarding fallen officers.
"Says that they are a police officer I need money to continue protecting the community asked to be put on the do not call list and was told to go $&!? myself"
Offers fake check overpayments for vehicles unseen, demanding the difference be wired back to "movers."
"I also got a text from them (PA), trying to buy my motorcycle in OR."
