COMPLAINT FILED WITH OIG.SSA.GOV
'Robert Smith' advertised on Craigslist for a 'personal assistant'. The duty that was emphasized was converting money given to me into crypto currency and delivering to a given address. As part of the application, background check he asked and was given my SSAN# and home address.
While trying to obtain a separate bank account, the bank representative told me that the offer sounded similar to money laundering schemes that had come to her attention, and that I should forgo any further involvement, by first, taking steps to protect my SSA#.
That's the reason for this report/complaint.
