came to recognize her voice, claiming to be from Social Security. She kept alternating between three different phone numbers, which showed up on caller ID. She'd offer to help sign me up for benefits I was already receiving. I always just hung up. Finally I got smart, copied down all the numbers and reported them to Social Security.

A day later she calls again, and I interrupted her & said look lady, I recognize your voice, know you're a scammer, and have reported all 3 of the numbers you use to SSA. Have fun talking to the FBI about consumer fraud and impersonating a government employee. Then I ended the call. Never heard from her after that.
