From KOMONews:
With the deadline for voter registration just weeks away, these crooks have a perfect excuse to ask for personal information. So be on guard.
“It could be a phone call that’s unsolicited or an e-mail that’s unsolicited asking for information in the guise of asking about voter registration, but wanting information like Social Security numbers or credit card numbers,” said Julie Mayer with the Federal Trade Commission office in Seattle.
If you’re already registered, don’t respond to a call or e-mail asking for personal information. If you want to register, do it yourself.
“All you have to do is go on the Secretary of State website, www.vote.wa.gov and you can register if you have either a Washington State driver’s license or a Washington State Identification Card.”
