Judge Judy Knows a Scam When She Hears One

Judge Judy has a simple strategy for scam phone calls: wish the caller a happy life, say goodbye and hang up. Her husband has a slightly different approach — and she can hear exactly how personally he takes those calls from across the house.

Judge Judy uses the hilarious contrast to make a serious point about scams and offers one of the oldest pieces of advice for avoiding them: when something sounds too good to be true, it usually is.

Judge Judy continues to entertain viewers with Judy Sheindlin’s unmistakable mix of common sense, humor and straight talk.
