    I think the phrase "take us all for a ride" was rather appropriate

    Geez, they are coming out of the woodwork! Glad that they ask for personal details to keep it from being offered to THEM.

    We must all look like bumpkins (i.e. just fell off the turnip truck).

    My mom just got a mailing telling her she qualified for extra social security payments and a lump sum settlement. Because of "new law". Gave her congressional reps name, and a Washington DC address to make her think it came from her. Asked same dumb thing "how do you want money paid to you". Gave your bank info of course. And then a hilarious choice "I don't know, let me think about it". Sure will.
