Called last night. I live 30 miles from Beatrice Nebr. That was not a midwest accent! I asked where they were calling from? Based in Georgia and/or Florida. It was something about Police Fund. I let him know that I appreciate the Police, but IF I was going to help it would be local.
Oh, YEA!
Now the spammers are calling from Beatrice Nebraska.
Called cell phone and the land-line - hangs up on the third ring.
I do not know anyone in Beatrice.
Wish we could sue the Telco's for letting these twits scam us.
I received a call on my cell phone this afternoon from this number who said they were from some police officers association and were looking for donations to help with their retirement fund. I asked them to mail me something. I gave them my address. He persisted in wanting to know if I could definitely donate a certain amount. I told him I would have to look at it and talk to my husband, and he said "Sorry I couldn't help you this afternoon" and hung up abruptly. He probably wanted me to donate right then and there with my credit card number. I wish he hadn't hung up because I would have responded "No, I'M happy I couldn't help YOU proceed with your scam this afternoon". See, this is what a poor economy does. Everyone is out to scam everyone esle.
