The stupidity of some Americans is mind boggling.

People actually believed a rumor that Obama has an account that you can tap to pay your bills. All you have to do is give your creditor or utility a government "routing number".

You know this was a 100% liberal voter phenomenon.

And we're surprised that soundbites and 15-second negative ads work?

I just checked it out on Snopes.com and it definitely is a hoax going around. I wonder if it has hit or will hit The Villages with all the seniors here. I am sure some would give out their Social Security number if the telephone caller sounded sincere and said their utility bills would be paid for one month.

I think this should be relayed to the Daily Sun or Seniors vs Crime to let them know of such a hoax and to warn people not to give out SS numbers.

As for stupidity, think about all the stupid people who lost tens of thousands of dollars to Nigerian scammers.

Some people are just too dumb to have money.

It is in The Villages "area"....certain places and has been for 3 years. (not in the residential area) This is not a new attitude

I heard Brad Pitt's mother got taken by this con game.

Sad to say there are people in this world who believe that there is such a thing as something for nothing and that they can get it.
