Elton Camp Poet Rhyme

Don'T Believe Everything You Hear

Don’t Believe Everything You Hear

By Elton Camp  

You may be in for a nasty surprise, you see
If you blindly accept the name on Caller I.D.

It may show the name of a company you trust
Verifying before giving information is a must

Ask yourself just why it would be on earth
That they ask Social Security and day of birth

A lame explanation the caller may even try
“It’s for your safety that we need to identify.”

And if it’s your credit card number they’d know
Just tell the agent that is not anywhere you go

Or demand a number to which you can call back
That will throw the scamster way off the track

No matter how friendly the caller may sound
Refuse to answer—firmly hold your ground

And an even better way to handle it than that
Just hang up the phone with a very loud splat
