An anonymous robocall is being sent to voters in Michigan with an ominous and inaccurate warning: Signing petitions could result in identity theft.
Blogging for Michigan has the audio, and presents this transcript:
This is an identity theft alert. Petitions are being circulated door-to-door and at public locations throughout the county that require your name, your address and your signature. The State of Michigan does not require a license or bond for signature gatherers and anyone can collect signatures regardless of their police record.
Be very careful who you give your personal information to, particularly your signature. In many cases, copies of these petitions, with your signature, are sent overseas for processing. Be on the alert for fraudulent attempts to get your personal information.
While the call does not identify who paid for it, the number has been linkedto Republican robo-call operations in Michigan and beyond. The identity of the owner of the line is unknown.
