They are a cancer to society and they should be eradicated or else they'll continue pretending to be any organization, profit or non-profit, and rip vulnerable people off.
the number 212-608-0503 is listed in reverse numbers as Johanna Cuz of 35 Jackson Street NY. When she called she wasn't really relaxed as she said she represented the ASPCA. I told her I'd seen this scam on the web and had no intentions of sending her money.
We have been receiving numerous calls from the number 212-608-0503 and they never leave a message. I just had another one come in 5 minutes ago and it is 1:00 p.m. here in CA on a Sunday 3/29/09. On Wednesday night they called and my husband answered the phone and at first no one was there and then finally someone came on the line and told him that they were from the ASPCA. We were eating dinner and although I didn't hear what they were saying to my husband but my husband was telling them that we are not in a position to be donating at the time and that we don't accept solicitations on the phone. Then I heard my husband talking about he would distribute fliers for them if they sent them to us but my husband did not provide our address and he wasn't asked. He asked not to be called again but like I stated above, they have called again.
I just posted the above a few minutes ago and then started reading the other posts and went through all my calls received this past week on my caller ID and now see that when we received the call from "The ASPCA" on Wednesday 3/25/09 that the phone # was exactly the same one I just received but instead of saying New York NY like it just did on Wednesday, it said INFOCISION, MANA. Who are these people???
Infocision management corp. a company of call center cites... ususaly non profit organizations, political surveys, # you see on tv to call, or some companies like twc contract them to handle sales, retention and tech calls. they dont id many of the non profit calls not sure why.
Thanks to all of you who took the time to post your research and experience with this phone number. I just wrote to the ASPCA to recommend that they try to shut this woman down. The organization certainly has the connections with the the police, and FBI and DEA due to their recent highly successful puppy mill raids.
I provided her name and address and offered my help. I usually don't have time to do such things, but I am angry that they are disturbing me at home all the time and representing a nonprofit so they can steal the money.
