I once heard a social worker tell of a common scam used by single pregnant scammers. They would scan the local paper for deaths of young employed single men and when the kid was born his name would be listed as the father-—the poor guy could have been dead and buried for several months but he was now a father. Social Security here we come. Their favorite target was shipyard workers and government employees.

I just became a hermit.
To clarify: we literally don’t let anyone know anything we do.
Certainly no social media.
No charitable or social involvement.
We use corporate shells to own things.
We don’t answer the door.
Our kids’ pictures weren’t in their yearbooks.
We don’t even know what our neighbors look like, let alone their names.
