POSSIBLE PHONE SURVEY SCAM IN TUCKER: There is a very suspicious phone survey being conducted in Tucker (and possibly elsewhere in our region?). Here is what is being reported to SAVE TUCKER! ...

You may receive an automated phone call regarding our DeKalb County Schools. There is no identification of who is conducting the survey, but it has been confirmed with the school system's office of Communications that the survey is NOT being conducted by anyone in the school system.

The survey asks a series of questions about sex education in our public schools and then concludes with two qualifying questions. The last question asks for your political party affiliation. It is our belief that this could actually be the ONLY question in the entire survey that the surveyor is interested in.Β 

Regardless ... until more information is known about who is conducting the survey and WHY they want to know your opinion on these issues, please be advised to participate only with the understanding that the survey is by an unknown third party and is not being conducted by the school system. You can simply hang up. (Or, though not advised, another route you could take would be to provide a lot of the "wrong" answers to distort any extrapolations they might be hoping to get from the data.)

If we learn more, we will pass it along in future posts from SAVE TUCKER! Β www.facebook.com/SaveTuckerFromLakesideCity
