After the 50k daily transfer limit was put in place, this is a major way to get scammed money. Good on the 50k limit and good work catching them, or at least part of them. I'm sure he'll grass...
Look up you digital address in google maps. Then do street view. It will show a mailbox company. Gee, i bet the gov't could do the same.
<sarcasm>
But you're obviously so smart and the government would never think of doing that...

Because it is. It's a PO box where they scan the letter and maybe the contents and send you the scan and optionally send the contents to wherever you want. Duh. And it's you're, not your. English not your first language?
Lived in San Diego in the 90s when I worked for Qualcomm. It's almost as inbred there ax it was in NC, so I moved to silicon valley where the real money is. Much less right wing idiots up there too.
A US mailing address doesn't mean your social security will be processed there. You fill out 2 addresses on the forms, residence address and mailing address. The residence address is what they use to determine where your paperwork is processed. Good luck if you say you're living in a PO box...
Even if you're in the US, if you use a foreign address in one of the 43(?) countries handled by Manila, it all goes through Manila so the bottleneck will be there
They never called. Nobody answers when you call during the set hours. I've emailed but no response. Can't do walk-ins. Hmmm. I guess this is the new social security MOP. Make it so difficult to get money out of them you give up.
Lucky I don't need it at the present time and would actually prefer for tax purposes to get a lump sum payment for 2025 benefits in 2026.
Good job Trump/Musk/doge.
