Call from black foot id. They asked for someone who doesn't live here. When I said wrong #, they went into their schpiel. Help for wounded/fallen police officers & their families. He wanted to send me a pledge card for a one time gift. I told them I would give to the local dept if I decided to. He was still talking when I hung up.
I have received numerous calls from this number in the last few days. Today they asked for me and I asked what did they want and then they hung up. Caller blocked on my phone. Hope someone catches these folks.
Unknown Name (immediate bad sign). Number supposedly located in Blackfoot, Idaho. Asked for me by name. "This is Jack *******, calling on behalf of the Police ****** Association.....". I hung up. So many scam calls use the favorite "appeal" words: Police, Veterans, Injured, Wounded, Cancer, Women's, Medical, Relief, Help, Seniors, Free, Hospice, etc. etc. etc........ They might give 2% or less to some organization, and then pocket the rest. There's no way to distinguish legitimate calls from scams. My policy is to hang up instantly on all such calls and Unknown Names and block the number.
