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 have been getting hang up calls 3-5 times a day from this number here at work. I have stopped answering it, I just hit the speaker button once to pick up and then quickly hit it again to hang up. So annoying!!!
Caller ID comes through as "SERVICE CALL" and it takes about 10 seconds after you answer before anyone comes to the phone.
They claim to be the "American Veterans Support Foundation" and they are very pushy trying to get you to send them money, any amount!
I DO NOT give any money to telemarketers. If they are legit, they can send their brochure via US Mail and I can decide whether I want to give or not.
According to the Washington State Secretary of State, ONLY 12% of their revenue goes for their claimed charity, so most of the money they receive goes to cover their own salaries, etc.
Some Panasonic phones will block up to 30 numbers for you. It comes in handy, but unfortunately it doesn't take long for you to use those 30 slots up! What would be even nicer is if you could block entire area codes!
Very very very annoying, they called I declined. They called again the same night and the guy on the other end of the line was super pushy even after I declined their smallest donation
