I got a call from Sandy of informed electorate in Utah. He asked me for my home address and phone number. I should have refused to give both - my home address and phone.
This caller is an Avatar system. It's a smart computer with pre-recorded messages. You can ask it amazingly simple math questions or common knowledge questions to find it won't answer. It is programmed to answer questions like who are you and where are you calling from, but it will ignore other questions or respond with "I'm sorry I didn't catch that, I was just saying..." and go back into it's program. Technology has come a long way.
This last time I got a call, he asked for $20, when I said no, he asked for $10. DON'T give the machine any money!
I keep getting these calls from this number and they sound like a robocall. It will answer short questions to fool you but I wasn't fooled. And when I asked it if there was a real person on the other end it said, "I'm real but I'm talking through a computer." I wasn't fooled and just hung up.
Caller ID says "INFORMED ELEC". They leave no message.
I called them back. They have called me before via (412) 226-0147. The outgoing messages are identical. I wrote up a lengthy report for the 412 number which was posted on 09/02/2016.
Long story short is that they are a PAC (read "want your money"). They will "inform" people by asking a few very basic questions. If you answer any questions, they will keep calling. Sounds like a SCAM to me.
