I once called the SEC regarding a concern I had with a state offical maybe owning a stock & pushing vendor work their way ignoring lawful bid procedures ( for his own potential gain ). The investigator, a Mrs Jones, asked me how I was able to get directly thru to her through the automated phone messaging system intended to leave one on "hold" unless one could enter the name of the party they were asking for. I responded that I figured there would be a "Jones" working in the building somewhere. She laughed & we had an interesting 15-20 minute conversation about "benefical" ownership of stock or large ownership vis-a-vis my concerns. She put NO pressure on me at all for specifics - never asked my last name, the company name, the name of the state official I suspected or any details. She simply gave me her HOME phone & told me to call back if I decided to pursue the matter. I never did call her back, but have retained her name somewhere. I was not at all intimidated & considered her to be quite helpful, professional & interested in following thru if I chose to proceed. Just relaying my own experience & I'm quite jaded against gov't agencies generally..................................V
