same # called for my grandmother who passed away 2 years ago. again, young guy with no tact. I said "this is no longer Bonnie's number since she passed away" and it was like I had told him his friend wrecked a car or something more mundane "what? When? How did that happen?" with that insipid 'young person tone' we're all familiar with.
We've been getting about 2 calls a day from this number for the past month, including sundays and nighttimes. The ID is VVOW, we never pick up, and they never leave a message. Sometimes they don't wait for the last ring before vmail starts, which seems particularly weird if they're soliciting $.
We're on Do Not Call, btw.
If this is a genuine vets line, I have sympathy, but this is verging on harassment. Any honest solicitor should leave a message with a return # and then leave you alone.
