I just got a call from Susan Fitz today! I saw the number come up on my phone and ignored it because I don't know anyone from Minneapolis, MN. I figured I'd just let it go to voicemail and call the number back later. A few hours later, I received calls from my parents, grandmother and both siblings saying that this same person had called them looking for me, stating that this was "the last attempt to contact me due to my failure to respond". The only thing is, I'd NEVER received a call from this number before today. She stated I needed to have an attorney contact them regarding my "case" because it was a federal call. (what?!) She did not leave the name of the company or state what the case was about because, supposedly, the answers to both of those questions are confidential.
At this point, I was upset that this unidentifiable person had pretty much stalked my family to get in contact with me. When I called the number back, someone picked up the phone and then hung up without saying hello. I figured since they had gone through so much trouble to get in contact with me that I'd call back. After all, she'd stalked my family until I'd answered so I'd was going to do the same to her. When she answered, she stated her name (Susan Fitz) and asked me to verify mine, then proceeded to RECITE THE LAST FOUR DIGITS OF MY SSN and asked me to verify if it was correct. I told her that I wasn't going to verify anything until she stated the name of her company and the nature of the call. She said that she could not provide that information until after I verified my SSN because it would be against the law for her to do so, to which I replied that I would not do so until I at least knew the name of the company, which she again stated was illegal for her to reveal. How is that illegal? This sounded VERY sketchy to me and I declined to verify. She then said that that was fine and wished me "good luck" in a very condescending way.
I'm not sure who this person is or how they were privy to so much of my personal information, including my family members' phone numbers, but I am extremely alarmed and terrified of how they were able to gain access to this information.
