Must be a scam. I got a call from the same number and they said it was the PBA. I told them I wouldn't give them any info because our local police dept. told us that the PBA doesn't solicit money over the phone. They guy just ignored me and tried to get personal info from me. Wouldn't give it. He hung up.
I got a call late at 9:00 p.m. Sunday, I see that someone posted that it was "American Veterans" phone number. I plegized money contingent that it was a local campaign; GR, Michigan. NJ is not local, I feel a scam in the works. Donors beware.
Never donate to a stranger who calls you. Might be a scammer. Might be a legit independent fund raiser who keeps 99% for themselves and sends 1% to the charity. Best to donate directly to the charity so they will get 100% of your donation AFTER you verify it's a legit charity.
I challenged the ligitimacy of thier organization, said they were apart of the America Vietnam Veterans Association. He asked for a pledge, Challenged again He hung up on me
