To the editor:

You know, the phone rings, you get up from your chair and answer it. Sometimes you get just dead air, followed by a hanging up click. Sometimes you get a drug dealer urging you to pick up a free load of drugs. Sometimes it’s the Microsoft scammer trying to talk you into loading malware onto your computer. Sometimes the scammer impersonates the IRS or Social Security or your bank and tries to get your Social Security number.
