When I got home today, from work, I found 4 identical messages on my answering machine. It was a female robo voice, informing me that my Social Security number was used in Texas in a fraudulent manner. Then it gave me the number to call: 973-323-2791. A little research on the internet, and you find out that quite a lot of people have gotten that call. The same number and the same message. They leave the same message 3 or 4 times, to make you think that it is a real emergency. I read that if you call the number, then they ask you to verify what your number is. Beware!

My parents used to get calls all the time from the “IRS” saying that they owed back taxes and the police would come and arrest them if they didn’t call the number they gave and arrange immediate payment.
