DO NOT ANSWER PHONE....DO NOT CALL BACK....THEY DON'T CARE..
THEY ARE FISHING FOR VIABLE PHONE NUMBERS AND WHEN YOU ANSWER THAT JUST VERIFIES YOU OWN THE PHONE......DON'T PRESS "1". Either . That lets them get more info....they then sell your number to other companies and you wind up getting more calls. It's annoying for sure but just let it ring, after awhile calls will decrease....I only get maybe 3 a week. Now...just steel yourself, don't answer, check your caller ID. Most of the time they are robocalls....why do you think most don't speak.....they just want viable numbers which you give them when you answer or call back.
Caller claimed to be from St. Jude and requesting donation. Had a lot of information about me including address and email but I believe it was a scam bc St. Jude's has never called me before.
I received the call from 909 366 4126 today requesting to increase my monthly donation and I accepted to increase it. By the way, when I checked this page I was worried if it was a scam. I called St. Jude and I've told that it was a valid call from St. Jude representatives and everything is safe for me and my information.
Well, if it's legitimate, why would they want people to donate NOW? Over the phone? If you do donate, you don't know who you're donating to. Plus, you're talking about a completely different number in your message.
People - do NOT donate over the phone - find out how to donate to St Jude from the St Jude website - http://www.stjude.org/ - that's the only way to make sure you're not paying money to scammers. And let's face it, there are many scammers out and about - especially since it's the Christmas season.
