I picked up and the caller claimed to represent the "American Veterans Foundation" and was soliciting contributions for what he said was assistance for veterans who are homeless or about to become homeless. I have held offices in three different veterans organizations and told him I had never heard of the "American Veterans Foundation" and asked for his 501 (c) 3 number, which he couldn't provide. Caller ID has a Virginia area code but caller's accent sounded more like New Jersey. I won't say this is a scam but folks who posted at this site sure think it is sketchy: http://www.military-money-matters.com/america ... l#axzz3CrO2Gekr
He called here at 9 pm, which I didn't appreciate. I Googled his name and came up with someone in VA. Looks like he's been arrested on drunk and disorderly. He has a Twitter account with a tweet about health care and nothing else. He has a website called Bullhorn Reach where he claims to be a "Highly qualified and successful Technology and Software Engineering Executive". There is no other content at the site, just what shows up in Google. I think these are just fronts to make him look legitimate.
Robocallers are programmed to keep calling if they get any answer, even an answering machine. I've unplugged my machine & don't answer if I don't know the number on the caller ID. Friends can reach me on my cell phone, which is a tracphone. If I start getting nuisance calls on that I'll just get a new number.
Robocall sounding like a live guy but then you release that it is a robocall when you yell into the phone and there isn't one pause in the perfect diction. Robocall supposedly for a veteran's support group. And I am not a stupid s*****k.
