Hello everyone, I too have been receiving these calls. I was reading on another site that in some cases, the caller identified themselves as part of the Obama Fundraising campaign. This appears to be a scam and if they are from a political campaign, I do believe they are exempt from the Do Not Call registry.
Perhaps we can turn the tides so to speak. I think we should call the number back and advise the person on the other end that they have won a grand prize of a vaction and that we need their credit card number to confirm the prize. Put it back on that organization and see how they feel. I know it won't solve the problem, but at least we would feel better. :-)
In all seriousness, it is very frustrating to see the lengths that people will go to to scam other people. The lack of integrity and just plain greed that we see in the world today just amazes me. I feel sorry for those who are driven by such things. There has to be something we can do.
