refuse to talk to anyone on the phone about anything..
You did the right thing.
I had to educate one who claimed not to know about Acorn.
Phone calls for personal information, except for the current job search, get hung up on.
Two adults, minus the dogs, a cat, and the new kitten, live here. (I note that the adult animals are more intelligent than Obamabots, but you do have to take things in context.)
For the physical form, all of the non constitutional questions will be marked NOYB, and the form mailed back. If it’s postage paid, of course, since I’ve no money to waste. Otherwise, it being winter around here, while the fire’s normally up and running, sometimes it does need a restart.
Don’t want to fail to answer the questions, of course, since that’d be against the law.
Should someone show up, they do have the right to knock on the front door, or ring the bell, and I’ll give the same answers and ask them to leave. While I’ll not going to take a shot at them, times being hard and myself living off savings, the followup will be a 911 call for trespass.
I’ve had just about enough of this crap...
As noted in other posts, your mileage may vary.
Ditto! This sounds like a phising expedition, where an identity thief tries to trick another person into divulging personal financial information.
