Got this call this morning at 9:15 a.m., disrupting an otherwise peaceful morning. No message. Ever since I signed up for the Do Not Call list, I get MORE unwanted calls like this. That's cause certain organizations, like charities, political campaigns, and survey groups are exempt from not calling you, since they are not selling you something.
Whether this was really American Lung Society or a phishing scam with someone posing as them, I'd never give to a charity over the phone. (Since it could be anybody) I'd contact them directly. Same as I'd never give to someone sitting at a table outside the grocery store.
called at 5 ish i don't believe that this is american lung and we don't give by phone solicitation anyway. our paper says to be very aware of scams which are becoming more and more prevalient. i trust noone anymore .i won't open my door to anyone anymore. this is how we have to live now. so far i have used my phone about 5 times this month and the pests many times more. did see an interesting ad for a prepaid phone. i could live without the internet.
