Answered because the # was in my general area. After a long pause (so probably a robo-dialer), male caller asked for spouse by first name. Not available, I responded. Caller said he could talk to either one of us. Said he was from Dayton OH police, starts into donation speech and I cut him off with a "we do not do these things over the phone". Dayton is beyond the area where we would even pay taxes for police support. Added # to callblock.
This number has appeared on my caller ID numerous times during the past week. They never leave a message on my answering machine, so I assume it is a telemarketer.
I never ever elect to give money or card numbers to a caller on the phone. It could be and probably will be a scam/ - Contribute to local or legit addresses and to well known organizations - but check out how much of your money actually goes to the organization and how much ends up in the organizers' pockets! before giving!
