I got a call today and the automated recording told me that there are serious problems with my social security # and the fraudulent activities associated with it. My whole life was about to be up-ended if I didn't talk to their representative and straighten the mess out.

So I pushed zero and waited for about 30 seconds to be connected. I started out "Oh my lord how can this be happening to me?! I already done paid for an extended warranty on my social security number!!!" ...... "Click".

Guess I didn't sell it good enough. grin

Them - "Hello Sir you are under investigation"

Me- REaalllllllllllllllllllllllllllyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy/ (with excessive sarcasm)

be nice if some of our tax dollars were used to prosecute and jail these thieves under international laws.

instead there will be a seatbelt checkpoint and a task force to shut down permit less yard sales

if you spot violators use your government provided cell phone to call 911

A buddy of mine got a call from the border patrol to let him know a package addressed to him had been held up at a checkpoint because it either had drugs in it or cash tainted with drugs. My buddy said "hey I voted for Biden and I want you to turn that package loose b/c i need all the drugs and money i can get my paws on" and then he got hung up on.

We both agreed it is rude to slow down drugs and money in a global pandemic, for the border patrol to hang up on ppl, and we were shocked that they hire men with heavy middle eastern accents. Go figure
