Caller claimed to be representing a group of petroleum companies and conducting a survey (promised not to be marketing any product) and asked two questions.
1. Do you live in California?
2. One of the following statements is correct. Which one is it? (a) You maintain a net worth of > $1,000,000 not including home equity, OR... (b) Your annual income is >$200,000.
I told the woman conducting the "survey" that I wasn't comfortable answering those questions since I didn't know her, who she was working for, etc. and she hung up. Why, why, why would any sane individual willingly reveal that sort of information over the phone to an unknown caller?
So, while she herself may not have been marketing a specific product, I'll bet her group was going to sell information about me to *other* telemarketers, spammers, rip-off artists, phisers, etc.
