Is this legit or a scam?

gtc08 · May 11, 2007

I checked my voicemail just a bit ago. Got a message at 11:35 AM saying that a congressman wanted to invite me to dinner with the president on June 13th. Left phone number to call back.

I'm sure you can figure this one for yourself. Unless there's a reason on why a congressman would call you for a dinner invite with Bush, it's a scam. Are you a mover/shaker in your town? Do you contribute a filthy amount of money to the republican party? If no, it's a scam.

gtc08 · May 11, 2007

Yea I'm pretty sure It's a scam. I just never got something like that before and wanted to see if anyone else had.

Scam, he is going to pitch you for $500 a plate or something around that figure to attend the dinner which will end up being bogus anyway. Of course you know this now so you can mess with him but do not pay a cent. Actually the smart thing to do is ignore him, these telemarketers can sell sand in Las Vegas.

BOL. wil...

After doing a little research, the guy who supposedly invited me to a dinner with Bush is a real congresssmen.

Just call the guy direct rather than a number given on phone

I wouldn't go unless they were paying me...in advance.

Are you wanted by the feds?? They might invite some wanted felons and bust them all.

I got a similar phonecall last week From Elvis , him and Lennon are throwing a surprise party for Jim Morrisson ... Should be a blast !!

Do you own a business? The BAC looks legit at least.

wolfie_cr · May 11, 2007

its pretty easy to tell

call them back

do you have to pay ANY money or not?

that is what it all boils down to

gtc08 · May 11, 2007

No I don't own a business. The site looks questionable to me. Join and we'll put your name in the paper, then on the events page they haven't had one since 2006. I called and hung up once I found out who it was that called and then came up with that web page.

well then you have a very similar name to a prominent businessman (maybe your dad)

or whoever does their finance research is retarded.

BetIt · May 11, 2007

i'm in the business (or used to) and basically what you got was a political solicitation phone call.

gtc08 · May 11, 2007

nobody has the same last name as me. The person who even called pronounced it wrong. I still think it's a scam or something. my dad also isnt a businessman.
