Once again, if anyone talks to these folks, please let us know if you get a positive ID on who they actually are. We'd love to know!
Thanks.
For anyone who wonders why the Do Not Call system exists, here's an exerpt from their own web site:
"The FTC has sued hundreds of companies and individuals who were responsible for placing unwanted calls, and has obtained over a billion dollars in judgments against violators.
"In addition, the FTC is leading several initiatives to develop a technology-based solution. The FTC has sponsored a series of robocall contests challenging the tech-savvy public to design tools that block robocalls and help investigators track down and stop robocallers. The FTC also is encouraging industry efforts to combat caller ID spoofing."
Called and left NO message. When number is dialed, immediately a recorded message is played, ". . . you have reached Donor Services Group . . ." and continues blah blah blah with on behalf of whom this telemarketing/donation solicitation entity is contacting "you" for "donations." and to ". . .stay on the line. . ." for a "representative" to assist you. In this current case, it was supposedly on behalf of the Zoological Society of San Diego. Clearly this is a telemarketing style robocalling entity, basically a SPAM/SCAM entity for hire. DO NOT ANSWER!
