[EL] Political Polling

[Todd Lang]

I received the same call out here in Arizona.   I think it is just a scam to get your credit card # for the "free cruise."    Hang up.

Subject: [EL] Political Polling

While working from home today, I received a phone call on my house phone asking me to take a political survey and promising me a free 2-day cruise to the Bahamas if I completed it.  I took the survey but hung up rather than "push 1 to be connected to the travel expert."

This seemed to me to be a rather expensive incentive to complete a survey (unless perhaps most people hang up as I did). Is this a normal practice or used for particular types of polls?  I wondered whether it was a push poll since we have a primary in Massachusetts tomorrow.

Thanks,
Lisa
