we have received one call a day for the last three days which were ID'd as "Al Franken", don't remember if it was this number or not. Today this number came in as ID "unavailable". In all cases, no message left, we did not pick up.
We NEVER answer out-of-state "unavailable" calls, because they are always pleas for money or outright scams. Sometimes they leave a message, mostly they don't.
Sounds like someone trying to sabotage the Al Franken Campaign.
I called the number back and they had a recording that said they were Donor Services Group on behalf of Al Franken. Then I waited for an operator and told her to put me on the do not call list. Then I asked her if they were REALLY calling on behalf of Al Franken and she said yes. And she said "Are You a Member of Al Franken?" and I asked "Do you even know what Al Franken is???" and she "Are You A Member of Al Franken?" I said just be sure I'm on the do not call list and hung upl
Dear Al:
Seriously? Six calls in less than a week? As I have repeatedly told your people who are looking for "John", no one with that name has ever lived here.
Despite requesting to be taken off your calling list numerous times, we have continuously been harassed for over year as much as twice a day.
Today I answered the phone and expressed my annoyance and ask to be taken off your calling list. I was shocked when the caller addressed me by my name and told me to calm down, he was just looking for John on your behalf. How dare you! The next call we receive from you, a formal and public restraining order will be filed.
Trust me, we are done with 'Al Franken'
