Political poll or phone scam?
OKLAHOMA CITY — Many Oklahomans are fed up with a telemarketer who seems to be getting around the Do Not Call Registry with a new ploy.
Some say it’s a phony political poll meant to get your credit card number.
The Oklahoma Attorney General’s office is now getting complaints and they say the scam preys on whoever will stay on the phone with them.
Bobby Kessler wasn’t too skeptical of the phone call Monday evening because his number is on the Do Not Call Registry.
“I wonder if it’s related to a political survey, since it’s that time of year and it was a political survey,” he remembers thinking.
The questions were, in fact, political.
“Gas prices, unemployment and Middle East involvement,” Kessler said. “They also asked me who my preference for president was.”
But then Kessler was told he had won a free cruise.
