SCAM artists spoofed CallID to
FRAUD DataMine Phishing for ANY personal information!
Protect yourself! SAY NOTHING! 2 second silence is recorded to gather intel on you, then all data is saved in their database and used to pry more from you the next time they call. And they WILL call again. Answer no questions. Don't even verify your name! Tell them NOTHING except:
''Do not call. We are registered on the national do not call list. Each violation will be prosecuted at $500 penalty. DO NOT CALL!'' then disconnect and
dial *57 to send a call trace to law enforcement.

Remember to follow-up and file a formal police report.

Callers claim to be Ann from Political Opinions of America politicalopinionsofamerica.org or other lies. If you contact them in any way, such as ''Take us off your list'' opt-out online or by dialing 1, 2 or 9 then you are instead validating that a human ear is responding to the Turing Test and placed permanently ON their SUCKERS LIST. The only valid information on their website is a regurgitated gallup.com RSS newsfeed, another trick to appear legitimate. Nowhere on the site is there a telephone number or address or even a way to engage their services = RED FLAG!
''Political Survey'' is their excuse to circumvent the National Do Not Call regulations. They claim if I take the 30 second survey I'd receive a free 2 day cruise to the Bahamas or a gift card. Truth is - hard sell of condo-timeshare! There are actually two scams here, the initial cold-call canvassers who get paid by reserving your ''free vacation +$185 port fees'', spend spree your credit card while the high pressure vacation rental condominium sales crew who trap you on a cruise from hell as they loot your vacant home.
They also abuse these numbers:
202-599-8470 253-382-9912 360-474-3924 502-468-5198 502-632-4414 502-632-4428 502-873-0246 503-902-8103 971-229-1183

Scam number. Do Not Pick Up.
called, today, left no message.
It was a political survey with a "free" cruise at the end. I took the survey and hung up before I could talk to the "travel specialist". When it first starts they give you the option to remove your name from the list by pressing 9.
called today and yesterday. never leave a message
Received one today - v/m
Missed the call. Thankfully...
I been getting a lots of calls from this number, but leave NO messages or voicemail.
SCAM! They claim they are exempt from Do Not Call because they are taking a survey, THEN try to sell you a cruise.

Shifty timeshare/cruise operator hiding behind "an important political survey" offering "free" cruises and vacations in Orlando. Kept them tied up for 21 minutes with fake address, fake name, fake credit card info, fake excitement...they're breaking the law, they don't care, at least mess up their economics and metrics.
This company has called three times using two different numbers in the last two weeks. We're on the DNC list, which apparently, is pretty much worthless.
