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.
Caller said the same about calling on behalf of our volunteer firefighters and it also showed up on the caller ID as "LOCAL AREA CALL" even though area code 310 is that of Los Angeles and I live in Massachusetts.
Caller called at 8:07 in the morning, it seems impossible to stop these kinds of people. They must
pay a lot of people to be able to continue to do this. About the only way is to cancel our unlisted number
we have had for 32 years. I picked it up one day on a "Donation" call for our Highway Patrol and donated
and I think they passed the number around, it is now non stop to the point we don't need the phone.
