The caller stated her name was Marie and she was a fund raiser for Senator Ted Cruz election Campaign. This is a legit call. Please respond if you are in a generous mood or go along with the core principals of the senator.
I had given money to Ted Cruz some months back. Now after receiving a call on my phone which is registered as a "DO NOT CALL" phone number with the United States Governmental "Do not Call List" , I don't think his going to get anymore money from me. He aught to get out of the Presidential race NOW. He's just colleting money from people that will go to his pocket. TED Bow OUT and quit taking advantage of people who could give that money to another candidate that has a chance. If you don't your no better than a scam artist!
I gave him $100 on the day he announced and that's enough (since it's the first time I've ever given a political contribution). But I disagree that he doesn't have a chance. Even if he doesn't get the nod, he's the most likely VP pick by Trump.
I think this is NOT a legit Ted Cruz call.
In just the last two weeks I have received solicitation calls from various phone numbers with various IDs -- CRUZ, CRUZ CHQ, TED CRUZ, ... these are probably scams. If money is sent it will NOT go to Ted Cruz ... or only a very small amount (e,g, $3 on $100) will go to Cruz. Ted Cruz is too smart to raise money with such phone calls. Marie may sound very believable but here is a much better way --
If you are going to support Cruz YOU should call (for example, a Cruz campaign headquarters) and get the correct address to which money supporting Cruz should be sent. Don't respond to a phone call TO you -- your money most likely will go to a thief ! YOU should call and get the address YOURSELF -- don't let SOMEONE call you and give you an address to which money is to be sent.
ttc6006, don't sound like a shill! -- I like Cruz too. Be careful who you send your contributed support money to. Also, read the Consumer Reports article "A Crying Shame" in the November 2015 issue.
These scams are rampant. And my phone company is not helping! I did call that company and express my concern -- as I told the company rep the lines I was being given by the callers the response was (to the lines) "lies", "lies" , "lies" .... The advice I get from friends who also are receiving numerous scamming calls is "buy a blocker."
