The best way to mess with these people is tell them you'll donate so have them send you a bill then send it back with no money and write on the bill to take you off their list. They get no money and it cost them postage.
Called twice with hang-ups both times, then called a third time, but I didn't answer--they didn't leave a message. Same people called me a couple of years ago asking for a donation. When I told them that we prefer to donate to charities of our choosing and that our budget was a little tight at that time (which it was and still is), the guy on the other end yelled at me saying, "What, you can't even give $10?!!!" Very rude man, so I hung up. If they are so rude to everyone, and they are written up to be a scam by news organizations, then why haven't they been investigated and disbanded by now?
They called my office number, since I am in a customer based job, I have to answer every call, I answered "Good Afternoon This is Christina", the man on the other end said "I'm sorry Christina, I have the wrong number".
When ever I get a strange call, I always look up the number, glad I did and will be sure to let it go to voicemail from now on.
called didnt leave a message but got a call form a private number and i answerd no one said anything who is this and what do they want to they always call if you get a ticket for the first time ?
