Phishing scam

This morning I took a call from a lady saying she was with Amazon fraud. Her number was 325-274-8233. She said multiple accounts were opened in my name, that 94,000 of drugs were seized, 18 bank accounts opened, and case #DC97224 was an open case charging me with fraud and drug trafficking. Then a supposed SSA fraud investigator got on the phone, and explained how I was going to have everything I own seized. My car my belongings all cash. I freaked out. I’m 70 and never felt I would fall for this, but this is the second time in a month. Last month I must have give up too much information and my social security direct deposit was changed and some other person received my check. I’m so Embarrassed. So angry. I hope you can stop these folks

Very similar thing happened to me, as well on Aug. 23. Same set up: received call from Amazing Investigative Investigation Dep't (individual asked if I purchased $1,500 worth of items, which I didn't then proceeded to say my account was flagged and that the SSA had an "active affidavit and warrant for my arrest" based on money laundering, narcotics possession (money amount was the exact same). Transferred me to the SSA's investigative officer for "my case" - Ted Planzos. There is a LinkedIn profile for this individual that appears legitimate. However, if you view it, you'll notice several job titles are repeated, there's no logo for the SEC or SSA (whereas there's logos for the law firms he's worked at) and his endorsements only indicate "16 others endorse" him and one said a person's name and endorsed him "because I know this." Ted's voice also appeared to be the same as the person I just talked with (and it was an internal call transfer as well - no external phone ringing, and he was able to "get through to Ted" very very quickly). Like above, Ted was going to send 2 SSA officers and a sheriff to visit me the following day, with paperwork to fill out/sign for a new SSN. He started to ask for personal information as well - last 4 of SSN, current address, model/make/year of my car. At that point, I had also being doing research online and read the above account, realizing this was a scam. I was fortunate at this point in the call, that Ted hadn't yet asked about my credit cards, bank account, DOB, etc. or to request any amount of money to "hold my case." In terms of phishing scams, this one is kind of elaborate and if you're not paying attention, it's easy to fall into the trap their setting.
