LIES. Block & report calls.
So it's a Saturday and a lunch hour, most federal offices are closed. I get a call where the caller covers up the true caller with "Massachusetts Call" instead of N.I.T. If a call has to do this, what else are they attempting to do? Find people who are disabled and defraud/scam them out of their Social Security numbers?
I do not know anyone in Massachusetts and let the call go to voicemail. I got a spiel about getting a ride to work and getting training to work if I were disabled from someone in partnership with the Social Security Administration. Really 🙄? Double really since this is a Saturday.
I feel this call is phishing for people who fit their spiel who are disabled and potentially gullible to their scam attempt. There is no legitimate reason to bother me with this kind of call.
My phone rang and I din't recognize the number, so I didn't pick up. I called the number back, and the phone number was "out-of-service" . . . but they left a message . .
~ The message seemed pre-recorded and the voice mentioned something about Social Security and if your working you could receive reimbursements up to $ ??,000. and if you were not working, they could help there too. They left a different phone number to call (1-866-968-7842.) as well as a website to visit, www.landajob.org./
~ Listed on the website is stuff like:
"Step 1, Do you receive disability benefits and have a job that pays at least $880 a month? Congratulations! Please go to Step 2." etc. etc. . . . .
~ They want you to fill out a form, provide pay stubs and talk to someone on the phone.
~ Also on the website was this info:
"Is this a free service? Yes. We are an approved Employment Network funded by the Social Security Administration and Ticket to Work program to help you return to work. To verify our status, feel free to call the Ticket to Work program at 1-866-968-7842.
How much must I earn a month to be eligible for work expense reimbursements?
In 2019, you need to earn at least $880 per month (before taxes) to qualify for work expense reimbursements."
