Recieved many calls from 360-230-1607, and I happend to be home tonight and answered. A guy calling me by first name told me he represented Amvets and blah blah how its so important to support them for what they do. First of all I do not donate money over the phone. I asked if he was directly from Amvets and he said he was from a company that handles their donations. When I asked how much of my donation would go the Amvets he told me almost all of it. I hung up because I knew that was NOT TRUE. The guy is from a company called DCS and they keep 90% of the money. They are do not call exempt because they are representing a non-profit. Personally I think Amvets should put an end to these for profit companies that keep your hard earned money and dole a little bit out to a charity.
Your post is so helpful! I got the phone TV and internet bundle because it was cheaper and just like some other people NO ONE had this number and AMvet is the first to call me on it before I even handed the number out to anyone. I'm glad I have done research and found your post before even considering answering this number. I have NEVER answered their calls and it has been 8 months later and I am still receiving their calls.
I believe Comcast is selling our numbers. As I mentioned before I never gave out my number the first few months. I received many calls from Amvet, Seattle Times, and other businesses I have not answered or done research on their numbers. I finally answered Seattle Times and hung up very quickly. A week later they called and I picked up. They asked to speak to my mom or dad!!!!! I told them excuse me? I am old enough to be married go to college and have a kid I am not interested! and he politely apologized. And Thank Goodness I have not had a another call from them. He did seem pretty embrassed and I am thinking about embrassing any other company that calls. I also had some Comcast rep. try and Sell me the bundle??? and I ALREADY had it!? Comcast needs to pay more attention to their customers. The only reason I am with them is because no other place can provide service since the location of our apartment. Or they are too pricey.
