Yesterday I received the following fishing scam on my phone: “Hi! It’s Sheamanti with Texas Democrats. What’s your name and zipcode?” This was coming from the anonymous short code number 21333.
Now, obviously, you don’t give personal information of any kind to an anonymous caller. Ever. But here’s what’s annoying. When I called the Texas Democratic Party, I couldn’t get through to anyone so I left a message on several of its lines.
I didn’t know if this is something the party was doing or if this was something they needed to be warned about. Earlier this week, someone posing as Preston Hollow Democrats was doing another email scam. See story here.
