Don't you know? ... "Political Surveys" are exempt from the DNC list!
ANYONE can call your number by just saying they want you to answer a few of their survey questions first. THEN they ask for your credit card numbers and any other information they can con you into giving them.
Okay, I just called the number back, the recording instructed me to press #1, I did. The recording stated my number would be removed from any further calls. Apparently, we all must have signed up for Surveys at some point. This company seems to complete Surveys for different organizations. They are in the information business. I always tell anyone asking for my opinion over the phone, that "I don't give my opinion for free".
yeah but you just confirmed your number for free. Never calls scammers back (and yes these are just another type of scammer). Never press some number. When tehse crooks trick you into doing that, it means your number will be sold or traded to other scammers and you'll get more junk phone calls.
I think the reason they hang up is because they want you to call them back. In some states, it is illegal for phone spam, but not against the law if they call and hang up. Just curious, any UW alumni here?
