Someone calls and says, “Grandma, i’ve been in an accident …” and so on. Why don’t people ask a few questions? If you’re my grand daughter, what’s my name, when is my birthday, where do I live, what’s my favorite food?

The overwhelming majority of people do. Scams like this dont work on most people. It just takes one or two stupid people every 100 calls or whatever to make it worth it. There are a lot of really stupid people out there though.
