I got a call from this number 650-644-4123 on 6/1/13 at 5:17pm at my home in NYC.
My caller ID said UNKNOWN NAME.
I called back the number and heard a strange "ding" and then got a very odd, automated recording of a person which tried to act as if it was not an automated recording. I know that sounds weird but it is the truth. The system was listening to questions I would ask, for key words and then respond as if it was a real person.
The "caller" identified themselves as Jeff Stewart of the American Veterans Support Foundation. When I asked what that was the automated response said it was a "very special project" of the National Vietnam Veterans Foundation. When I asked where they were located they said Eden, NJ (which is odd since the area code is in Palo Alto, CA). When I asked how can I get back in touch with them, they gave me an 800# (1-800-270-0018) which led back to a "Fundraising Company", the woman would not give me her name or the name of the company and she said they were a company which does fundraising for many different groups. I then researched the "American Veterans Support Foundation" and found this posting about them:
"It turns out that they are a legal organization, but although they comply with the law by reporting to the state, in fact they are in business for themselves. According to the attorney general's office, they collected $4.3 million dollars last year. They claim 86 percent for expenses and only 14 percent goes toward helping veterans."
Received numerous calls from this number. No messages left. Comes up out of area on caller id. Last call receieved June 1, 2013 at 12:00 pm. Annoying and harassing. Going to notify the authorities. Am on Do Not Call Registry.
