Elon Musk and the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) crew have revealed that 40%—nearly half—of the phone calls the Social Security Administration receives are from “fraudsters” who are changing beneficiaries’ bank information to steal benefits.
“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,” one of Musk’s prodigies stated.
President Trump’s DOGE head, Elon Musk, and members of his team sat for an interview with Bret Baier, which aired on Thursday evening, to discuss the waste, fraud, and abuse in government spending that they’ve uncovered in just two months.
Musk explained that unscrupulous individuals “call in, they say, they claim to be a retiree, then they convince the Social Security personnel to change where the money is flowing.”
“It actually goes to some fraudster,” he added.
WATCH:
DOGE Engineer: The two improvements that we’re trying to make to Social Security are helping people that legitimately get benefits protect them from fraud that they experience every day on a routine basis, and also make the experience better. And I’ll give you— one example is 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… almost half.
Musk: Yes, and they steal people’s social security is what happens. They call in, they say, they claim to be a retiree, then they convince the Social Security personnel to change where the money is 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.
Other findings by the team regarding Social Security reveal what a scam the program is.
The Gateway Pundit previously reported that the DOGE team had discovered jaw-dropping inconsistencies within the U.S. Social Security database. According to their findings, over 25 million Americans are registered as aged 100 or older—some allegedly older than the U.S. Constitution itself.
DOGE recently announced that as part of their massive clean-up effort, they’ve marked Social Security recipients aged 120 and older as deceased.
Despite the massive fraud in the program and evidence of real retirees getting cheated out of their benefits, the Democrats are still vehemently opposed to Musk and his team rooting out the corruption.
How many elected Democrats are benefiting in some way from all of this fraud?
