That's a very clever idea... to answer and just listen on a number you don't recognize. I received a call from this number at 8:42pm and called back with a block. It went straight to vm., and the box was full. If it were a scam (and I have received shady calls asking for donations with a cc#), I simply deflect and hang up. Be sure to give to organizations that are approved. You cannot be too careful.
BOGUS....WIRELESS CALLER Just answered this call and was asked if they coud speak to a person that has been deceased for 20 yrs. Probably someone asking for donations to fraternal order of police or some such, as they had that gruff officious manner they use to intimidate a donation out of you. mind you... just speculation.
Just received a call saying they were from our local fire dept taking donations for injured persons families. I normally get a call from them but I always get something mailed and send in a check if I want to donate. He asked for my CC# and they no longer take checks.... Nope not falling for that one, I hung up.
