“Social Security fraud isn’t just a minor issue—it’s an industry of crime, costing billions. From identity theft to government corruption, fraudsters have made Social Security their personal ATM. But how do they do it? More importantly, how can YOU protect yourself?”
“Stay with me till the end, because I’ll be sharing life-saving tips to keep your Social Security safe from these criminals.”
In a recent interview with Bret Baier, Elon Musk and DOGE just revealed a whopping 40% of calls to Social Security are fraudsters.
“Fraudsters call in and claim to be a retiree. And then they convince the operator to change where the money is flowing.”
Elon further elaborate that “As a result of the work of DOGE, legitimate recipients of Social Security will receive MORE money — not less in future.”
“At Social Security, one of the first things we learned is that they get phone calls every day of people trying to change direct deposit information. So when you want to change your bank account, you can call Social Security.”
“We learned 40% of the phone calls that they get are from fraudsters. That’s right. Almost half.”
“Yes, and they steal people’s social security is what happens. They call in, they claim to be a retiree, and they convince the Social Security person on the phone to change where the money’s flowing. It actually goes to some fraudster.”
“This is happening all day, every day. And then somebody doesn’t receive their social security. It’s because of all the fraud loopholes in the Social Security system.”
Elon Musk says the federal government spent $1 Billion on a survey that would have cost $10,000 on SurveyMonkey.
When asked about What’s the most astonishing thing you’ve found out in this process?
Musk replied There was literally a 10-question survey that you could do with SurveyMonkey for $10,000 that the government was charged almost a billion dollars for.
TYPES OF SOCIAL SECURITY FRAUD
“Let’s break down the biggest Social Security fraud schemes happening right now.”
- Identity Theft & Stolen SSNs
“Scammers steal SSNs from databases, government leaks, or even SSA employees who illegally sell them. These stolen identities are used to claim benefits or even commit crimes.” - Fraudulent Disability Claims
“Some people lie about being disabled to collect Social Security Disability benefits while secretly working under the table.” - Ghost Employees & Fake Identities
“Fraudsters create fake Social Security numbers to register fictional employees. These ‘ghosts’ collect government checks while the money goes straight to scammers.” - Social Security Call Scams
“Did you know that 40% of all calls to the SSA are from scammers? They impersonate retirees and convince agents to change the direct deposit details. The next thing you know, your benefits are gone.” - Nursing Home & Caregiver Fraud
“Some nursing home employees and caregivers take advantage of the elderly by stealing their benefits. The worst part? Many victims don’t even realize it’s happening.”
HOW FRAUDSTERS OPERATE
“Now that we know the types of fraud, let’s see how scammers pull it off.”
Step 1: Stealing Social Security Numbers
“They get your SSN from hacked databases, voter registration leaks, or fake job applications.”
Step 2: Creating Fake Identities
“They use these numbers to create false identities for illegal employment, tax fraud, or even criminal activity.”
Step 3: Direct Deposit Scams
