Re: Rude NRA Phone Solicitation

Anyone that has google voice or other similar services can "listen in" as someone leaves voicemail.

It's great.

Charles - I am absolutely sure it was the NRA that called. Caller ID said "NRA", and it was a Virginia area code. And, since I told them I would only contribute if they sent me something in the mail, I got my "invoice" from them this week. I am more than happy to support the NRA, but this really puts me off. My plan was to send a note back with the invoice explaining why I would NOT be contributing at this time.
I could call you, and the caller ID would say NRA and it could be a virginia area code.
anyone with enough knowhow can do it easily. It's slightly more difficult than putting a false return address on a letter.

If someone wants to give me their phone number, I can prove how easy it is :)

Re: Rude NRA Phone Solicitation

Caller ID can easily be spoofed these days with the correct equipment and know-how, so I wouldn't place that much faith in the number.

Still a good idea to call the NRA, if someone's using their name, they can respond appropriately.
