This is a scam, calling on behalf of firefighters. My wife answered, and the caller asked for her by name. She asked him who he was and he said he was calling for a charity benefiting our local firefighters. This is a scam that has been around for years, so they must be finding a lot of suckers. It is impossible to get them to quit calling.
calls almost everyday at all times for about a week, then stops. It start all over again in acouple weeks to a month. Never answered and they don't leave a msg.
The usual faked up Caller Id scammers that the FTC seems to be powerless to stop. Caller Id says "Local Area Call" but the area code is in Los Angeles.
Same here as the others. They've called several times in the past, I don't answer, they don't leave a message, now they're starting all over again and I'm on a do not call list.
Called and said they were calling on behalf of our volunteer firefighters (and it showed up as a "Local Area Call" as someone previously said). I told him we're seniors living on a fixed income, and then he thanked me for our help in the past. SPAMMERS! Our volunteer firefighters don't telemarket, and definitely wouldn't be calling from CA, since I'm in NY!!
