I was targeted by the Republican Party as a fund raising scam. They tried to scam me out of $500 to get my name on some stupid advertisement in the Wall Street Journal, a gavel, and invites to the Presidential breakfasts in Washington.
I decided to call the number that the left for me on the answering machine (1-877-213-0603) a call this afternoon to see what this was all about. The lady told me that I was being honored and that I have already won. Immediately, this started to sound like a sweepstakes scam.
Next, she told me that I would have the “honor” of having my name listed with a bunch of the other suckers -err- co-chairmen in an advertisement in the Washington State Journal. All that I needed to do was to contribute $500 to their cause .. tax cuts.
I’ve voted mostly Republican for most of my voting life but this scam alone has given me a big shove to the left. What honorable party would take advantage of people like this?
They didn’t get a dime from me and I hope that everyone else was that wise.
Reference: Here are some others who where contacted by these republican scam artists.
