[Hidden-tech] why a suspected scam(s)

[A - Z International]

Hi all,

I've been communicating with two investigative journalists -- one national 
and one local -- about all the information members have provided about the 
two approaches the NRCC is taking to fundraising that appear to be a scam, 
or verge on a scam. Paramount is finding out, if possible, how they are 
getting our phone numbers.

For those who are convinced this is fundraising as usual, I will say it is 
not. I'm a long-term political writer/investigative journalist. Whenever 
someone calls and offers you something without correctly identifying who 
they are representing and loops you into award, rewards or other offers 
only to lower the boom later you are encountering something not entirely 
kosher. It's certainly misleading advertising, if nothing else. Call me and 
listen to the message I got if you're not convinced.

If anyone has information on how these people from the NRCC are getting 
your names I'd be interested in knowing that as would my media contacts.

best,

AZ
