Some nasty lady with an attitude called a work # and asked to speak with Jason. I told her there was no Jason here and asked who was calling? She said why does that matter if there is no Jason there. I said perhaps she was looking for someone else at my company and had the wrong name. She said she had the right name and why do I need to know whos calling. I said I'm sorry lady but you called me and you don't have to be so rude. What a mean person with an evil spirit!

It's a ROBOCALL from MAGIC JACK offering "Free Phone Calls".

01/09/2020. At about 10:45am I received a call from a lady who identified herself as Catherine Lee from SSA (800 Service 1 800 481 4592, Case No. CF587920) telling me my SS ID had been compromised and was being used in connection with drug trafficking, money laundering and other criminal acts which occurred in Texas, and are associated with an abandoned black Toyota in Houston, TX, rented under my name. Also crimes in El Paso. Additional crimes of which I am implicated include possession of 22 lbs of cocaine and 25 different fraudulent bank accounts. Possible perpetrator names: Julian Ramirez and John Rubio Gonzalez. Fraudulent money transfers to Mexico - $500,000. I spent about thirty minutes on the phone with this "agent". Then Ms. Lee transferred me to another agent allegedly at the DEA. He did not identify himself otherwise. I spoke to him (1 915 320 2257) for half an hour or more. He told me my SS ID would be cancelled within 48 hrs or so if I didn't cooperate and do EXACTLY what he was telling me, or I would be charged with one or more felonies in short order. He said I needed to go immediately to my bank and withdraw all but $50 from my checking account, in cash. I must make up some plausible reason for this withdrawal but not to even hint about the conversation we are having, or the circumstances surrounding the criminal activities of which I am accused. I followed his direction to the letter. Once completed I should go to my local Walgreens and buy four $500 Visa gift cards, deposit $1000 in two of them with one cashier, and then $1000 with another cashier. In advance I was instructed to separate out the two batches of $1000, and to place them in two different pockets of my pants or jacket. Again, must not in front of the Walgreens clerks mention any of the real circumstances surrounding my behavior. I went to the Walgreens. It didn't take long for the cashiers and manager to sense what was going on, in my hurried and somewhat confused state, all the while with me on the phone line receiving directions from the DEA "agent". The Walgreens folks quickly told me, actually shouted at me, that this was a familiar scam, that I should immediately hang up which I did. Then I walked straight to the local police station to report the experience (Precinct #24, first spoke to officer Urana Paulino, then later left a message for her to call me back). All this transpired WITH AN OPEN PHONE, either landline at home or smartphone, from about 10:45am to about 12:30pm.

this exact scam happened to us on 8/9/2019. Not sure how he planned to get us to buy gift cards for him. We live 1500 miles away. Do NOT give bank info or SSN to somebody who calls you.
