Oh my, the scammers just work and work at trying to separate you from your identity.
Just this week a co-worker sent me an e-mail to verify. Sadly, it's a real one.
Someone calls you on the phone and tells you that they're calling from the courthouse and that you have a warrant out for your arrest because (get this!) you missed JURY DUTY!
"But I didn't miss jury duty, I didn't get a notice."
"Well, I'm going to have to verify this, it will just take a few minutes. I'll look you up. What's your social security number and birth date?"
BING BING BING!
There's the operative word, they want your SSN!
First, the courts and the jury duty staff DO NOT call you! Not going to happen, there's not enough time in the day to call up every person who no-shows for jury duty. (Sad, but true.)
Second, they would NEVER, EVER, EVER ask you for your SSN.
A fool and his money -- and identity -- are soon parted.
Don't be a fool, don't fall for the BULL DROPPINGS!

The Political Scene
Oh
My
Goodness!
The political scene is so full of BULL DROPPINGS that it's hard to sort them all out. The mud slinging has commenced and will flow continuously until the election in November. It's going to be a longggggg October.
One thing that you, the voter, should do is research your candidates thoroughly. A good place to start is FactCheck.org http://www.factcheck.org/. While some conservative types think that FactCheck has a liberal bias, I believe that they're fairly well balanced.
In any case, don't buy into the BULL DROPPINGS, don't take anyone's word for anything (not even mine) and remember, the more mud a candidate throws, the bigger the skeleton he/she is trying to hide in his/her own closet. And if you catch a candidate in a lie, it's a sure thing that there are a whole lot more lies -- that's just the one that got caught.
We don't need any more liars in office.
Think about it...
