Mystery Solved. These calls are NOT coming from The Heritage Foundation. They almost certainly originate from telemarketer The Heritage COMPANY. http://www.theheritagecompany.com/
My mother-in-law received this call at her home; the gentlemen asked for me (we don't live in the same house) and she told them I didn't live there. The call came up on her caller ID as "California Call" with no name. After reading the other postings on this site; I bet that this number was "pirated" and it really isn't the actually number that the call was placed from. I have friends in law enforcement and a relative that works for AT&T and they all confirm that this kind of thing goes on all the time. Someone will "pirate or piggyback" on a number but the call is actually coming from another locality so as to mask the real identity of the caller/company calling. This is of course illegal. I believe that any upstanding organization wouldn't be calling and soliciting donations if you told them to not to.
We have been receiving calls from 323-33-1426, when we answer they hang up. When we return the call it goes unanswered. We have run a Reverse Number Lookup which comes back as a land line with Paetec Communications Inc. LOS ANGELES, CA. We have also been receiving calls from Pt Pleasant NJ, which also goes back to Paetec Communications.
I agree. Heritage Foundation is a wonderful organization. I don't believe they make phone calls like this.
Why would someone just throw out that it was the Heritage Foundation with no basis. If that's the case, I now pronounce that it' moveon.org calling. It's probably eivil George Soros himself on the other end of the phone.
