Alabama: Fake Robocalls Offer "Reward" For Dirt On Roy Moore

Folks in Alabama began receiving fake robocalls from a "Bernie Bernstein" claiming to be a reporter from the Washington Post offering to pay $5-7,000 for "damaging remarks" about embattled GOP Senate candidate Roy Moore:

“Hi, this is Bernie Bernstein, I’m a reporter for the Washington Post calling to find out if anyone at this address is a female between the ages of 54 to 57 years old willing to make damaging remarks about candidate Roy Moore for a reward of between $5000 and $7000 dollars. We will not be fully investigating these claims however we will make a written report. I can be reached by email at albernstein@washingtonpost.com, thank you.”

Because how much more east coast/Jewish can you sound than "Bernie Bernstein?"

And do you like that last part stating, "We will not be fully investigating these claims..."

Total bush league move.

The Washington Post issued a statement:

“The Post has just learned that at least one person in Alabama has received a call from someone falsely claiming to be from The Washington Post. The call’s description of our reporting methods bears no relationship to reality. We are shocked and appalled that anyone would stoop to this level to discredit real journalism.”
