Social Security
Let’s say Social Security didn’t send out their checks this month. My mother-in-law, who’s 94, she wouldn’t call and complain.The easiest way to find the fraudster is to stop payments and listen, because whoever screams is the one stealing. A fraudster always makes the loudest noise — screaming, yelling, and complaining. My mother-in-law’s not calling. Come on, your mother, 80-year-olds, 90-year-olds — they trust the government.
