Caller asks for my wife (states her name) but does not come forth with any information when asked what the call is in reference to. Calls day or night - unrelenting, annoying and inconsiderate. From Manassas Va. Similar to calls from Centerville Va from 571-581-2671 - uses same script.
This number shows up on caller id every other day for a few weeks. They stop calling for a month or so then start back up again. They never leave a message. The caller id shows the name as " I ", nothing else. I am on the Do Not Call List, it does no good. ot sure who this is, a charity, solicitor, telemarketer, survey, etc. Once you make a sincere contribution to a charity your information is shared with their affiliates. It becomes an annoying, vicious cycle. They should not be allowed to do this, especially without your knowledge or authorization
They are outright wrong. I've never contributed to their "fund" and give to the two local fire companys that serve my area as well as the rescue squad which I also happen to be a member of. If you do have a conversation with one of these callers ask them what percentage actually gets to the people they are soliciting for. You'll likely find it is miniscule. Do give to your local first responders locally and directly to ensure they get the full benefit of you tax deductible gift. And don't think that those areas, such as mine, that have revenue recovery billing is getting those funds. It goes to the city/county coffers and is distributed from there so very little actually goes to them. Donating directly and volunteering is the surest way to help support your community.
This charity i put as a prank call because very little money goes to do the work they say they are doing. They are listed as #5 on the list of Americas worst charities and received 0 (zero) stars by Charity Navigator.
