I checked with a deaf friend who has been helped by Allsup.

You might want to check out their website.

Allsup
1-800-560-1410
Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) | Medicare

or

Perhaps your local area SSA office could assist you with the paperwork.

Well, some posters here collect SSDI and so, they can feel free to use this link or call their local SSA office for an appointment, etc.

Diehardbiker, I am sorry that I have to be blunt with you this is NOT a scam. Where did you get that information from? Care to explain.

I checked who own this domain name, it wasn't even from SSA at all, it was from a company who deals with Networking. Always check WHOIS before clicking them to check if they are legit or not. That is how I know,

Here is result

===============================

Most of the scammers will do anything to hide their true Identity.

Nothing about Social Security Admin? Thats scary when releasing information to stranger or getting information from a stranger. Even worse, this could be proxy server used their system... has it happened? you BET! Most scammers love Proxy servers.

Be extremely careful with Internet, it is stilll wild wild web!

For those who is interesting in protecting themselves from various threats on Internet. Don't you know that you can use right button on the mouse or trackball like mine and click Properties, it will tell you the address, copy N paste on whois look up. You can use google to find whois.

Always check the padlock if you see unlocked padlock that means the Internet connection is not safe or unsecured. Never do identity information over unsecured network....

This is about Internet safety and security.

diehardbiker: Allsup handles SSA claims. They are not a networking company. It looks kihe it though from the WHOIS description.

The web site - Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) | Medicare - spells out their business. You are right to be apprehensive - you can never be too careful on the web.

Sosie · 10-13-2009, 05:52 PM

Wow... When I read your messages. I immediately emailed and told my friend not to contact the Allsup. He said he didn't contact them. *phew!* Oh, thank goodness!!!
Yes, you are right that we have to be careful on the web. Thanks for your advice, Diehardbiker (and TheRedMenace)!!!

to AllDeaf forum, TheRedMenace!!!!

It's better safe than sorry...

diehardbiker · 10-13-2009, 06:56 PM

Yes, there are times where you get website or E mail with a hyperlink which looks legitimate website only to be scammed or phished.

Other day, I got E mail from unknown source, with a hyperlink that perfectly resemble Citibank, claimed to be headquarter in NYC which is true HOWEVER when I right click on that link, it shows what? www.citibankmoney.com so I run whois, guess where it goes? A small town in CHINA!,they needed your SSN, full name, full address to restore their database that they claimed crashed otherwise I would lost all funds (Yeah right)

Wow, they did good job trying to fool me but they didn't.

Exactly. SSA maintains their own site. You can use it to apply for benefits, to use email to contact them with questions, and to access information. You should never use an outside site for doing so. The information you release to SS is confidential and sensitive. Do not use a third party site, as you have unintentionally waived that confidentiality and protection of privacy.

I think you guys are misinformed here. Doing a domain lookup ONLY tells you where is the servers located and who handles the network. For smaller companies they will hire outside services for web and network services. The BEST place to check is better business bureau. Allsup is listed and they are accredited with BBB. It even lists the website domain.

here is copy and paste:

Diehardbiker- next time check more thoroughly before crying scam. The info you checked is NOT good enough.
