Dallas Woman Almost Falls For Oldest Trick in the Book

Someone called and told her she had won $1,000 concert tickets (to what? the second coming of Christ?) and all they need was her Social Security number to pay the taxes on her winnings. It says here this is a new scam, but pretty much only the surface details have changed.

I’ll go on record and say this: if you give your SS# to someone over the phone, you deserve whatever disaster awaits.
