A Facebook video with what may appear to be an ad for a 'free $3,500 allowance card' for seniors featuring Dr. Phil isn’t authentic.
. At least until you look more closely and realize the audio isn’t quite tracking with the video.
"It’s like a $3,300 allowance card for free," the voice that’s supposed to be Phil McGraw, the host of the TV show"Dr. Phil," says."They’re using it to buy groceries at stores like Walmart, pay for prescriptions, pay their rent, all sorts of things. It literally takes 30 seconds to fill out this questionnaire. I don’t understand why more seniors aren’t doing it. It’s really helping a lot of seniors who need this help.
