Suspicious phone call from the "DNC"? |
|
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:

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
