The Birch Show.

All right, Jeff is back and he brings us a brand new Birch Show phone scam.

The woman applied for graduate school for education, and she missed a line on our application,

so if she can't follow instructions, how is she qualified to give them to our children?

Hello? Hi, I'm looking to speak with Carolyn.

Freddell, please.

Yeah, this is Carolyn.

Hey, Carolyn, Fred's Matt.

Callin with the admissions department.

New York State.

Hi.

Hey, I got a few issues here with your graduate application,

and I want to clear these up so we can uh move

forward without a problem okay uh here's the deal you are uh obviously in graduate school for

education which we think is terrific what we have though is a direction following problem

and that worries us because our standards are pretty high.

Wait a second.

Sorry, did I make a mistake on the thing?

Well, yeah, you did.

Here's the situation.

When you send in your check, we ask that you indicate your social security number,

your ID number on the memo line of the check. Uh-huh. And we also, because this is graduate school, we wanted you to put a G on the outside of the envelope. Uh-huh. And you did neither of those things. Oh, okay. I'm sorry. I must have. So I mean, I'm sure. I was doing a million things at that time. and I was just, like, totally overlooked it.
