But who are these "random" people who always get polled? I'm 65 years old and I've NEVER been called. And how do we know they aren't lying? I would, just to mess with 'em. Or maybe negotiate with them. "I'll want a big tax break from your candidate (they all have favorites), a 'get out of jail free' card (like the bankers have), a time share on Camp David, and maybe a plane ride now and then." Unless their candidate is Ted Cruz. Then I'd just hang up. ;)Lowandslowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08608734222483888884noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-968059214758329257.post-11869157787286110442016-03-01T06:09:03.392-05:002016-03-01T06:09:03.392-05:00Funnily enough I have just had a call from someone...Funnily enough I have just had a call from someone trying to get me money back on a non existent PPI - The scary thing is that they the knew my name and my address as well as my phone number (mobile) which isn't even on contract, it's pay as you go - how do they know this stuff???Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04402703967636964187noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-968059214758329257.post-76442740708443603032016-03-01T04:29:40.519-05:002016-03-01T04:29:40.519-05:00So far I haven't received on-line polls unless...So far I haven't received on-line polls unless it comes with a number withheld which I never answer.
