I would be so happy if they could get rid of all the scammers that call me since I hit Medicare age! Seems like my name got added to the "scam the seniors" list so I get calls for insurance, hearing aids, back braces, alert systems. I don't answer but I do look the numbers up. It is endless! Now that Medicare enrollment has started, I am very popular!

Good!  I receive those IRS recorded phone scams several times a week. I also get those Microsoft phone calls often

So glad to hear this, I've been getting calls from numbers with a California area code, but my phone tells me the call originates from India. I've never answered any of them.

The local & national tv news are just now reporting this. 

 

Better late than never I guess

One down....! I know a dear 91 year old woman who told me she is getting a big IRS refund! All she has to do is choose whether she wants it all at once or in fourths. She needs to send them 22.84 to process her option...

 

I tried to convince her it was a scam but she told me it had to be real because they typed the letter to her! It said, " Dear Susan, .." And, it was two, double sided pages!

 

I hope I convinced her not to send any money! I can only imagine people her age, afraid of official notices, filling out ALL of the info they ask for!  We must stop all of these crooks!

Never underestimate the power of kindness.
