Just got this call. They asked for my father by name. I told the caller I would like to talk to him also but he has been dead for 20 years. The caller identified himself as representing the Vetrans Assistance Foundation. The caller then when into a pitch about homeless vetrans and how the economy has hurt them as well as senior citizens. He asked if I could donate at the lowest level of $20. I told him spare anything at this time. He thanked me and then hung up. This is the second call I've gotten asking for my father since the first of May. The first one sounded like a political survey of some sort. Wonder where they got their lists from.

Answered a "lower credit card interest" scam phone call yesterday.
Never give out any information over the phone....if important, a legit. company will mail documents certified return receipt for legal evidence.
