These guys are relentless! Every day for weeks. They are NOT listed as a charity in the state at

We get calls from this and like numbers every day. Every year my husband gives money to the state firefighters and they call from a completely different number then this and always in the early spring.
Last night he tried to question these people about it and as soon as he asked it they hung up on him. Red flags are all over these numbers.
You are on their sucker list. One donation earns you a permanent place on that list.
This type of scam has made the newspaper several times. Typically they donate $100 to some random fire department. That earns them the right to say "we are supporting the fire department". They then collect several thousand dollars and keep it all.
Do not give them any money. Hang up on them as soon as they call. With a little luck they'll eventually give up, but it will probably take several years.
yeah,,,had told them to take me off their list and they still call my home!!! Had given them moneys and that was a mistake!!! Would like to be left alone!!! the humane sociaty needs money too!!! For the kitties and puppies!!! for shame WASFF to be so greedy!!!!;(
