The caller was not the League of Women Voters, though their message made it sound like it was.  The actual group is a bunch of people calling themselves "Our Parks Forever", and they may be in BIG trouble for spoofing their Caller ID, and even *bigger* trouble for spoofing it as '911'.  

Seattle Police Department 911 received dozens of calls about this, when people tried to 'call back' to complain.  If you received a call from these idiots, please take the following action:

1.  File a complaint with the FCC for fraudulent Caller ID. This is illegal (per https://www.fcc.gov/guides/caller-id-and-spoofing ) ; the complaint form is at http://www.fcc.gov/complaints and they may be subject to fines up to $10,000 per call.  They claim that made 100,000 robocalls.  $1 billion in fines could go a LONG way to funding FCC enforcement actions!

2.  If they called your cellphone, they are in even *more* trouble, since ALL robocalls to cellphones (no political exemption) are illegal unless you have specifically given them permission to call you at that number.  The fine for this is only $1500 per call, but that can still be a sizable chunk of change if they didn't bother to screen out cellphone numbers from their autodialer.

3.  Follow all the action at http://horsesass.org/spd-investigating-caller ... nts-to-call-911 ; SPD detectives are looking into this.  There are also a couple of good articles at The Stranger's 'Slog': http://slog.thestranger.com where they are exposing the people doing this.

4.  Drop a nice little note to the "Our Parks Forever" group.  They can be reached via email at [email protected] (contact information from their web site).  Be nice but be sure to let them know that their actions were completely sleazy and illegal.  

The Seattle Police Department is definitely NOT happy with these people; please file the proper complaints and help to make an example of them so that in the future these sleaze balls don't decide that caller ID spoofing is OK (and especially not 911).
