I answered and a man identified himself as Joe and said he was calling about Veteran's of America informed me that the call was being recorded. He asked for a one time, tax free donation for the Vets. I politely declined and he politely thanked me and hung up.
There are a lot of phony charities that claim they are for veterans, because veterans are a generally sympathetic group. They often use names that sound like the names of legitimate charities. Even those that are not outright scams keep most of the money for the telemarketers. Never give to a charity through a telemarketer. You never know who is really calling.
I received a call yesterday (7/17) around noon, answered and they hung up. I got a call today, at the same time - noon. I answered, and they hung up. Caller ID says New Jersey.
