Where do I begin? This guy calls asking for me by name and says he's from "CA Call". He asks me if I support a better government, a fairer tax system, and better schools. I tell him, "That's so general. Who wouldn't want that?!" and he says that a lot of people just don't care. He asks if I'm a registered voter (not that it mattered, since he says that they got my name and number from existing voter registration records) and if I could help get more people to care. (?)
I ask what the call is about, and he says they're just generally calling people, not for any particular election or measure. (???) Then he asks if I could help their action committee to "get more people to care", and I ask what that would entail and what the name of the action committee is.
He responds that he doesn't know if the action committee has a name (???), but they have a website. He gives me the website "cacall.com", and I visit the site and the domain is for sale. (WTF?!) All related domains (cacall.org, cacall.gov, etc.) also don't exist, nor is there any information about an organization named "CA Call" in a Google search.
The weird thing is that, while this guy is talking, his voice keeps cutting in and out, but the background noise (which sounds like a busy call center) is steady, so it seems that the background ambiance is piped into the call separately from the guy's voice.
All these factors convince me that this is some kind of obscure scam. If you receive a call from this number, BEWARE! Don't answer the phone.
