Caller didn’t leave a message on my machine and the caller id said “ALA” which probably means scammer/telemarketer since every legitimate business I know leaves a message. So I ran 3 reverse traces using 3 types of traces and all were completely blocked. No person or business name, no general location(City, County, State, Country etc.) and no service providers showed up, however the area code is for Washington D.C. A legitimate business would never hide their identity and location by blocking a trace. This is the worse kind of scammer that is probably operating from a foreign country that is either spoofing dead phone numbers and/or using a Voip system while phishing for personal information and running a scam(s) (i.e. Looking for credit card information using a fake name "ALA" [American Lung Association] asking for donations etc.). This is an extremely high tech scammer so beware. DO NOT ANSWER AND DO NOT CALL BACK FOR ANY REASON. Block and report to the proper authorities.
It's the American Lung Assoc wanting you to hand out packets in your neighborhood or make a donation. They're a good organization who I have donated to in the past multiple times but they have a campaign now and I've received calls, 7 days in a row so far. I sent them a $1 donation with a note on it that I only take solicitations through the mail and that I would have donated $50 if they hadn't called me on my private home phone number. They have other number they call from: 202-650-6149, 202-770-2406,202-558-3142. Another uption is to pick up the phone when they call and explain that you only take solicitations through the mail and that every time they called or will call in the future, you're going to tear up another donation slip. If everyone does this, perhaps they will stop their phone campaign.
It is American Lung Association. Really annoying because they called every day for more than two weeks at different time and it go to very late at night also. @ 9 PM!!!!!
Just got this call, again on Feb 2016. It must be working for "them" because it's been happening for a couple of years now according to the dates of the complaints here. I started getting this call for about a month. I do not answer and have it blocked. Don't know if it's spoofed but the area code causes suspicion. No message is ever left according to everyone here. So better safe than sorry and don't answer.
