Caller claimed to be forma foundation for American veterans, tried to get me to pledge money, when I asked that he just please give me their foundation info so I can donate when I want to not when solicited he just said thanks and hung up, so to me that's a scam. Any reputable charity would be happy to give you their info so you can look them up and decide if the cause or their work is something you want to support.
Called this morning at 9:20 and male caller asked to speak to "the lady of the house". What is this, 1953? Anyway, when you wake up a late or day sleeper, don't be surprised when you get told to go away and hung up on. Found out that the caller was the Foundation for American Veterans (or more likely, their fundraising arm, which may or may not be Associated Community Services). What makes this amusing instead of annoying is 1) the very sleepy guy who answered the phone *is* a vet -- a combat medic, no less, and 2) I'm the household hard sell.
7 calls in less than 48 hours, never leaves a message. Caller ID says FAV, If they were a legitimate entity, they would leave a message. Collecting money allegedly for veterans, but only give 15 percent of what they collect. That is a scam.
