Normally I don't answer when I see their initials on the caller ID, but after watching today's session, I thought it might be interesting to do so.
They were calling with a 1-question survey:
Do I think...
1) That the DEMOCRAT Party is bringing unconstitutional charges and an illegitimate trial against (president) tRump; or
2) That the Republican Party should do any and all things necessary to defend tRump and have him acquitted of all charges.
Needless to say, I corrected the caller's use of "Democrat" and told him he called the wrong number if he's looking for Republican support. He immediately went into his spiel of how I can submit my donation to the RNC, which at least led to ending the call in laughter.
Another RNC number now blocked...

I then Block Caller but it amazes me how many numbers all these scammers have, I can block 10 a Fay and more keep coming. Endless calls with most having local numbers. Try to call any one, and it says this number is no longer in service. A second after calling. This should be illegal.

I was laughing just reading how they asked you for a donation, glad you did as well.

(1,856 posts)Last month, shortly after the insurrection. Don't know how they got my email last year, but I'd a get 9-13 daily in my spam folder. I'd look at a few before emptying the folder every week.
The grifters always looking for money, by selling merchandise, offering VIP treatment to attend fundraising events , offering free merchandise with a contribution, brief surveys, thanking me for being a loyal supporter which I am not! I did write a few unkind words when I unsubscribed.
I can't believe they actually unsubscribed me, and I am so pleased that they did.

Didn't Tiffany graduate from law school? Maybe she can keep Daddy out of the Pen.
