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!

I received calls almost daily until about a week ago...hmm...wonder if they got our scammers. GOOD!

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!
