The "name" on my caller ID showed: LXTNPKGRML MD. So, either a fake doctor, or a fake company from Maryland.
Either way, I didn't answer, and as expected, they didn't leave a message. If it IS a "fundraising" company as the OP says, they're likely no better than the Fraternal Order of Police who also give almost nothing of what they collect to the people they claim to be raising funds for. And if you do answer the phone and talk to someone, and you tell them you're not interested, they become extremely rude and make unnecessary comments like, "Well, you should want to support the people who give their lives to protect you." OK, I have no problem giving to the people who protect me, but these companies aren't it. If you want to give to a veteran fund, or to the police, call them directly (as in, contact your local police department, and/or contact your local veteran post) and ask them where to send donations. They'll give you a LEGITIMATE contact number for a LEGITIMATE organization who will give either the majority, or all of the funds to the people they collect for. But don't give to the organizations who try and call you!
Caller ID LXTNPKGRML MD Asked for a donation for hungry and homeless veterans. After unsuccessfully trying to get me to donate $45.00 or $55.00 he dropped down to $10.00 and then put me on with a "representative"???? She immediately asked if I would be using my mastercard or visa for the donation. Scammer immediately came to mind and I told her NO WAY do I give any info out over the phone. I got no reponse on that... nothing but dead silence on the other end. I hung up!
Received call and stayed on line with saying nothing more than "hello" hoping to get to an operator to tell them not to call again. After the machine asked if they could count on my support for homeless veterans, there was silence. After approximately 20-30 seconds, I heard an automated response that said "yes."
I then called the number back and got the same recorded message and attempted to reach an operator by requesting one verbally and pressing "0" without success.
