I was not wearing my glasses, so when I went to read the Caller ID, I thought I saw the name of a dear friend. I called the friend, and she said that she has been sick in bed for the last four weeks, and cannot keep her head up long enough to talk for any length of time on the phone. With the glasses on, the ID could be read as Marysville, WA.
CID said "Lucky 7." Out of morbid curiosity, I answered. Breast Cancer Survivor's Fund, whatever that is, and I interrupted her spiel to let her know that we don't donate to charities that call us on the phone. She hung up without another word.
Honestly, it sounded like one of those sophisticated voice-recognition calls, but I could be wrong.
Just got the same call from Lucky 7. I asked why it said that. She went through her introduction as the Breast Cancer Fund for people who can't afford mammograms. Then she gave me the name of the foundation and the address with the zip code. I thought that was weird. Then I said, "Are you real?" There was a hesitation, then a click, then she said, "Yes". I said, "You're not a recording?" Once again, a hesitation, then a click and she said, "No?' I laughed and she continued her "spiel". Then I just hung up the phone. How weird is that? I didn't know it was called a voice-recognition call.
I just called the number back and it said something along the lines of: "Thank you for calling back. If you are not interested and no longer wish to be receiving any future calls on our special promotions and be placed on our do not call list……" Press 1 now. Then something like, "Our marketers will no longer be calling you." Thank you VOICE!
