Social Security Disability

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,

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. :)

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) :-o 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.

Diehardbiker- next time check more thoroughly before crying scam. The info you checked is NOT good enough. IF you checked the ip address of allsup, you will see the www.allsup.com ip address is 68.188.120.54 and supplied by charter. the host is Network Solutions and they provide the website work, etc for allsup.
