I got a call from 407-347-4489 at 11:12 am, Sunday, August 5, 2012. I answered and the caller said the phone conversation was being recorded for my protection and that he was calling for the sheriff's association. I told him my number was on the Do Not Call list and when he started to say something I hung up. My caller ID said "Unknown Name". My number is on the federal Do Not Call list, but not the Florida list. I don't know if these calls for donations are prohibited under the federal Do Not Call law.
Many years ago, I read an article in the paper that said these calls are made by firms that keep 90% of the money they collect. To me this is nothing more than a scam so I never contribute to them.
