“If you protest that you never received a summons for jury duty, the scammer asks you for your Social Security number and date of birth so he or she can verify the information and cancel the arrest warrant.”

If you are dumb enough to give out your SSN over the phone...you deserve what happens.

If you are dumb enough to give out your SSN over the phone...you deserve what happens.

If your dumb enough not to lock your car, you deserve to have it stolen.

If your dumb enough not lock your front door, you deserve to be burglarized.

If your dumb enough to not build a border fence, you deserve to have your country invaded.


Stop being an apologist for criminals.

Right.

Maybe we should then just shoot people with a bit of dementia, who are old enough to naturally be compelled to be polite and cooperative to a voice on the phone and unable to just hang up.......AND part of the age group comprising the list that this kind of scammers have...../s off

So give a totally bogus birthdate and a made-up SS#. This goes for ANYONE who calls you up and wants you to “verify” information.

The biggest lie is one that looks plausible, and is close enough to the truth to escape quick detection.

Never give up the urban guerrilla mode, especially to offers that come in over the phone.

Or the Internet.
