Really Simple Scams Do Work

From television station WGRZ in Buffalo, NY:
A few days ago Lizzie Jones of Buffalo was visited by three men who claimed they were from the government.

Lizzie Jones, Buffalo Resident: "We're from Social Security and we want to make sure the people are getting their social security check."

Lizzie said she gave them personal information including her social security number because they showed her identification.

Lizie Jones: "He did it real fast. He did it so fast I couldn't see it really."

But Lizzie's grandson Avery was suspcious. After the men left he had his mom call Social Security.

Avery Hutchenson, Lizzie's Grandson: "They don't send anyone door to door and they did not send anyone in this area during that day."
