Another call from the SUPPOSED "F.O.P." - this number is SPOOFED to show up on your caller ID - they ARE NOT located in North Carolina.
This is a large, professional soliciting company that pays the 'charity' a tiny fraction of what they take in. Ever met someone who owns a Lamborghini? How about three? Now you know one. This moron.
BTW - when you call back the number that called you - you do get a recorded message asking you to press one for more info and an option to have them call you back, but it doesn't even allow you to leave your number. It's as fake as this goober making the calls.
The number is FAKE / SPOOFED to show up as a local number. They change it to reflect one that would be local to your area. Makes it seem like they are working for your community. A nice, new "personal" touch by this giant professional soliciting firm.
BTW - before you give to some goober company calling you in the phone, try and get their company name - or the real charity for which they are soliciting for - and then go to your State website for licensed or 'approved' solicitors and look up the percentage that they actually give to the charity. Most are appallingly low. You're better off to just give it directly to the organization than these goobers. Some get as little as 8% on the dollar - that's less than sales tax rate in some states!
They have the nerve...
This group has been calling from 336-793-2533, as well as this number 336-283-0521
They have called me before but never left a message. Today they called at 8:40 a.m. I thought it was against the law to call before 9? In any case, this time I picked up but didn't say anything. They hung up. I have now "saved" the number in my phone as DONOTANSWER. Can't stop them from calling and waking me up, but at least now I don't have to worry that I've missed something important. Because by saving the number, I KNOW it's not somebody I want to talk to. Thanks to all of you brave people who actually engaged in a conversation with them and were able to determine the scam factor.
I have had 2 voice mail messages from 336-283-0521 in the last few days. They leave messages that repeatedly say " Is Angela there?" It is not anyone I know and I would like to keep them from calling me.
