i answered because i couldn't see the number (no glasses) and they said they were some sort of police benevolent type of deal.  i've heard these were scams.  told them i didn't take phone solicitations, they said they didn't want money over phone would send me something in mail.  did i want to pledge 75, 50 or 35 dollars.  i said no thanks, take me off your calling list.  they guy had somewhat of an accent.  probably from a foreign country.  so annoying.  need to wear my glasses all the time.
