I don;t know if this is related, but yesterday afternoon one of my employees came in and told me he got a call from his friend who gave him a routing and account number and said that if you call a certain number and give them your cell phone number, the amount of your bill and the other information he had, Obama would pay his cell phone bill.
So being incredulous, I said let’s call your cell phone carrier and ask. So we did and the lady on the phone said that they have been getting hammered with calls on that all day. She said no, it will not have Obama pay your phone bill. What it will do is give permission for the phone carrier to add a charge against your cell phone bill in the exact amount of your monthly bill (so you will pay double) this additional amount is then donated to the Obama campaign.
Talk about targeting the poor. These people barely make it paycheck to paycheck and now because of some campaign scam they no doubled one of their bills. Yet they probably will still vote for him.
