Received a call this afternoon. Said it was a political poll. I usually participate in them as long as no personal info is needed. It was 4 questions about democrats, republicans, & Obama.  I did it then was transferred to the cruise specialist for my "free 2 day cruise" I listened to the whole kit & kaboodle but when my decision was needed to be made right that moment (with a credit card needed as well) I politely declined and hung up.

I did not answer because I know no one who lives in Oregon.  It rang for almost 20 times before they gave up.  Caller ID said Gresham, Oregon.

This telephone number belongs to Pacific Telecom Communications Group.  They are a public utility who's business involves facilitating illegal telemarketing calls in violation of 16 C.F.R. §310.3(b) of the Federal Telemarketing Sales Rule.
