This is NOT A POLITICAL POLL! It is a sales call. They want to give you a cruise.
If it sounds too good to be true, IT IS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Always report

Welcome to the wonderful world of scams. Please keep these people on the phone as long as you can, perform the public service called scambaiting. the longer they are tied up with you, the less likely they are to successfully CON someone else.
when they ask your name - Use your Pet's name,
when they ask for a phone number - Use a local "Dial a joke" or a Fraud helpline#
when they want a Credit card use a "Prepaid" or "Gift" credit card with only a couple cents on it, give them that number.
Always get as much information from them as possible. then post online.
When everything is done ask how successful this scam has been? Let them know you have been "recording the call." and hope that you have helped prevent them from stealing from someone else.

Same thing as everyone else. I am on the DNC list and I got a cell phone call from 503-902-8187 saying that they were taking a political survey. I was busy at work and NO ONE but personal friends have my cell number- I do not give it out at all, so I hung up in aggrevation.
| Roseanna 2012-04-10 21:29:52 Unknown |
I too, received a call from this #. I didn't answer and they left no message but I am on the do not call list and don't understand how or why they're able to call. Looking at all the posts from other people who've received a call from this # I don't understand why a lot of people are saying this is a political call then they're saying it's a cruise line scam. It is not a political call it's just a plain scam.

Just got called by this number. I don't generally answer calls from unknown numbers, but I'm glad to discover that I'm not the only one and this is a scam call. I am on the DNC, so this rarely happens.
| Bryan 2012-04-10 19:29:17 Unknown |
Caller hung up as soon as I answered. 1st time call.
| Kathy 2012-04-10 19:04:06 Unknown |

| Debbie Denton 2012-04-10 17:07:36 Unknown |
Received a call on my cell from this number. Didn't answer. Learned it was a fraudulent time share plan masquerading as political survey.
| Leslie 2012-04-10 15:05:34 Political Call |
Automated junk call re survey on our country's debt crisis.
| Bill 2012-04-10 14:35:04 Unknown |
Repeated calls from this number. Never answer, but have reported it several times to do not call. Nothing changes, calls keep coming.
| Joan 2012-04-10 12:58:37 Unknown |
They called & left no message.
| Vicki 2012-04-10 01:15:06 Unknown |
Just got a call from this number on my cell, which I do NOT give out...did not answer and I don't have voicemail set up on my cell as it is a tracfone and I don't want to lose minutes to messages.
But, if they are stating they are part of a political party just to call those on the 'do not call list' then you need to report them immediately. Policial parties and some charities are immune from the DNC list, so they would be using that to their advantage just to suck you into a sales phone call....so, report them, takes about 2 minutes time is all...the more that report, the more chances they will be caught/fined

Call with no message. Really irritating since I am on the no call list!

This # 503-902-8187 called my cell phone. And I am on the DO NOT CALL LIST. I am very frustrated about getting phone calls like this.
| snarlco 2012-04-09 16:51:15 Unknown |

Terrific and accurate write up thanks for the info. Yours is the first info I found when I did a reverse look up on the phone number.
| No Sucker Here 2012-04-01 21:56:21 Political Call |
As a former Network (Cisco) Security Engineer, I don't fall for Internet, or Phone Scams, but I like to play along to waste their time...:>O I knew something was up when I received a call on Sunday, April 1st (April Fools!) from a number I did not know. After all, I am on the National Do NOT Call List! So with nothing to do, I picked up and it was a political poll recording, so I played along. On a scale of 1 to 5 how do you think the democrat house and senate are handling the financial situation, 1 being bad, 5 being best. I pressed 1! The democrats are not handling the debt crisis, they are just adding to it! Next question, how is the president handling the debt crisis, he's not! So, press 1! Surprise, the survey was over and I was to wait to book my cruise.
I was connected to a guy who gave his name as Olawale Akinnibi (he actually spelled it for me! Hahahahaha, jack a**!) As soon as he gave me the ship name, I was on the internet to see if it existed, but to also see what kind of scam it was. I googled "ss bahamas celebration political" and it came up with SCAM websites and so I had a hook in the guy. I let him go through his speech for 10 minutes just to waste his time. I figure if he's on the phone with me for that long, it's time he can't use to screw someone else. So I start asking questions, then tell him I know it's a scam and he gives me the number of this company 1-800-221-8200 and tells me to call it, he will wait. I happen to have 2 phones, so while I am talking to him, I call the number, just to see how far the scam goes, but it actually was a real company, but because it's Sunday, they are closed. I thought I could waste two peoples time but could not!
So I tell him the company is closed because its Sunday, so I guess I have to book now or loose the deal right? He says right, and I say it figures because you are scamming people. He's trying to tell me it's not a scam, even though I tell him I see dozens of websites with SCAM on them, he's still trying to maintain it's not a scam.
In the end, I kept him on the line for 30 minutes, and end the call by telling him I hope he rots in hell for trying to rip people off, and that God will get him! :>) I always add that, just in case they are religious, or have any morals, it puts that thought in their mind. God will get them!

I recorded voice came on asking to take a 30 second survey. In return I would get a free cruise to the Bahamas. I was asked to press one for the survey or nine to be permanently removed from their list.
| Ken (VA) 2012-04-01 21:23:46 Telemarketer |
The political "survey" is just a front for selling timeshares. The free cruise by Caribbean Cruise Lines is just a hook to get suckers and fools to take the bait. If you refuse to take a tour of their TIMESHARE VILLAGE, then you must pay for the entire cruise.
Don't answer the phone, don't call the number back, and, if you do answer - don't respond to the press 9 to remove your number. They will not remove it but will sell it as an active number AND continue to call. Their number changes about every month, but don't answer any number unless you recognize it. My God, are our telephones turning into the same traps as email spammers?
You can get additional, eye-opening information on ripoffreports.com and look up Caribbean Cruise Lines. Nasty, nasty company!

If you are on the do not call list, make sure you report these clowns to the FCC via their website. The only way to stop them is if we all report it and the FCC gets enough complaints. A political survey is no excuse for unwanted calls.
| Steven 2012-04-01 20:57:04 Unknown |
If it is a political party that is selling my number to add to their campaign fund,then
it has got to be illegal!! Ive got several before and now I just don't answer.
