I have been giving money to the Mitt Romney campaign for about 4 years now.
And never one time in that 4 years have I ever received a cold call asking me for money until today.
Today I get a call from someone claiming to be on the Mitt Romney election group.
It was from a blocked number.
The person on the other end of the phone was not professional at all.
He sounded like a sports tout selling is weekly 100% locks.
High pressure with very little substance.
I felt very uneasy about the whole thing.
Especially given the fact that I gave a $100 donation just the week before, and several before that.
Anyway I tell the dude I dont do any business over the phone, especially from people with blocked phone numbers.
He then goes on to tell me that I really dont give a shit about America(yes he said shit) and that I dont care about Romney blah blah blah.
It was at that moment that I went from thinking this was a scam, to knowing this was a scam.
I then contacted the real Romney campaign to find out that they had nothing to do with whoever called me.
So my word of advice is dont assume that people calling you on the phone are legit.
Im sure these people made a lot of money today.
If the prick on the phone would have been just slightly more professional he maybe could have gotten away with getting a few bucks out of me.
Just a heads up.
