I answered, thinking that it was one of my wife's brothers calling from Houston-Pasadena (281). A woman asked for my wife by name. When I said she wasn't here, she thanked me and hung up.
They have been calling and calling. I have tried to tell them that I can't help them but they won't take that for an answer. Now I won't contribute to their cause because of the harrassment. I just wish they would remove my name and number from their list.
Many of the scammers are now switching to the guise of charities because it's permitted under the "Do-Not-Call" regulations. DO NOT make any donations to these people as these donations will not reach the organizations they speak of. Why should someone from Texas be calling Oregon, Maryland, New York, etc. looking for in state charitable donations for Texas. Think about it!
