I got a call from this number about an hour ago. Since I did not recognize the number, I did not answer. Lately, we've been getting more and more calls on our landline and cell phones from numbers that we do not recognize. We now DO NOT ANSWER any number we do not recognize. If it is a legitimate call, the person calling will leave a message. Of course, that never happens. So folks, STOP answering your phones when you receive these calls because by answering, you let them know you will answer all calls, and the caller passes this information to other SCAMMERS!
Got this call on my work cell, which has a "pay for the minutes you use plan". I guess i just paid for one minute by answering and listening to "blah blah blah political survey...blah blah".
FYI, be careful of any instructions to "press #". It could be a trick to find out if there is a human answering on the other end (computers, fax machines can't understand or press 2).
By pressing 2, you might be put on a list that says "real person on the other end, please include this number in all other scams".
