Suspicious phone call from the "DNC"?

[Junkdrawer]

Just got a call to "throw all my current request forms away" :wtf: and send money to the new form which will have "the familiar DNC logo in the upper left corner".

New phishing scam? :shrug:

1. Could be an RNC scam as well

We all know how low they can go

2. I would go directly to the DNC site and see if something is there.

If not, send a copy of that email to them. I find ALL unsolicited emails suspicious these days!

3. Not email - a phone call...n/t

[napi21]

4. I'd still check the DNC site, and tell them about the call. n/t

5. Did you get a call back number?

Or did they block the number in call display? If you don't have either I'd call the DNC and let them know, maybe after trying a *69 on the guy that called you.

9. My Caller ID Shows "Outreach Associates"...perhaps the DNC...

has engaged a Phone Solicitation group and the solicitors want their fee? :shrug:

10. go to the DNC site and e-mail them

I do not trust any phone call that asks you to throw all the forms away, sounds
Phishy to me.

11. I called the DNC 877 number and the operator told me to call...

headquarters and ask. I just got the ya ya box (they close at 5:30).

I think I'll call when I get the "new form" in the mail - but my current best guess is that the DNC has farmed out solicitations to professional solicitors.

12. my best guess is no

they have always had volunteers when they call me; call tomorrow, don't wait, because they need
to know if someone is scamming their supporters, so they can send out an alert.

13. Usually when I get a solicitation from the DSCC or DCCC

The caller ID has a fundraising company's name.

14. I try not to donate to them, becuz between

the DNC, and the my local Dems and the out of state dems I donate to, it gets out of hand. Glad
you commented so I will know that they use outreach organizations.

6. If this is a RNC scam, they are truly loathesome beasts....

who know absolutely no depth that's too low to sink to.

7. Loathsome beasts and RNC

seems to go together pretty well to me. They are scum and nothing should be thought of as being below these pricks.

8. They call me almost weekly. This would actually be an improvement.

Sounds legit to me. Just watch your mail.
