They asked for me, I said "Who is this?" , and they refused to tell me, so I refused to tell them if I was the person they were asking for. They then said if _______ wasn't available that they'd just call back later.
I don't ^$&#@! think so.
I called it back. Got a recording that gave me the number of 1-800-327-4302. I called that number, and it gives you the option of being removed from their calling database.
My number is already in the National Do Not Call Registry. If they call me back again, they WILL have harrassment charges knocking on their door.
Same thing. They won't leave a message. They sound like they are trying to use a 'decoder' that tries to hyjack your system. Says they are calling from Vancouver, WA. Have been getting flurry of these type of calls from prisons and half way houses. They try to take over your phone system to get free calls, make 3rd party billings, bill to your account.
They may use false or real organization names or even work or volunteer for them. Be very careful of giving any information or money or credit card or debit card information over the phone to these callers. If you really want to make donations then contact local groups or you contact the main groups who will get most of your donations.
