Someone called and wanted to speak to my husband...called him by his nickname. The call was on4/6/2010 around noon.I usually do not answer unless I know the caller, but my kids have cell phones and since the call was on a cellphone, I thought it might be one of them...it wasn't.
Yep, we did too. Sounds like BS to me. How is it calls like this come in when you have registered on the do not call list? Oh well, we can block them on our phone anyway.
Fell into the trap of answering this call as I thought it was someone from work calling. They wanted donations tothe volunteer firefighters. I told them that we contribute enough in taxes to the fire district and also FD 3 just got a 13 or 15% pay raise so maybe they could donate some of that windfall to the volunteer fire workers. He didn't know about that payraise so that tells me that he wasn't from here.
I answered the phone only to hear someone breathing on the other end. As I always do, I blocked the number after looking it up online. We live in Olympia and that definitely looks like a cell number as it is not a regular landline prefix around here.
I got at least 4 calls this week from this same number, they don't leave a message , so I don't answer. It is a cell-phone prefix, probably a scam if You read the other comments here
