Susan Collins actually said...

"I want to thank Senator Collins and the Committee for their interest and work on this problem of scamming of senior citizens."

"This Committee's ongoing commitment to fighting fraud against older Americans is raising awareness and making a real difference."

"America's seniors lose a staggering $2.9 billion a year to an ever-growing array of financial exploitation schemes and scams."

"Someone alleging to be from the IRS calls and scares you into paying thousands of dollars or you will be thrown in jail."
