The Prolife Committee is apparently trying to get money from pro-life supporters. Caller identified herself as Sarah, from the Pro Life Committee.
It would be nice if they identified themselves as something other than Unavailable. It made suspicious as to whether this was a scam. It is.
Regardless of your stand on abortion, don't give them any money, nor discuss with them abortion issues. All they want is to rip you off. There are legitimate organizations (both pro and anti-abortion) and you can evaluate them online. Don't waste your money.
Vermont Right to Life Committee Treasurer Sharon Toborg emailed a warning to pro-life Vermonters this week asking them to be careful of who they trust on the telephone. It seems that someone has been calling pro-lifers in the state claiming to be from “the Pro-Life Committee” or the “National Pro-Life Committee”.
The caller is asking for donations by telephone to help the pro-life movement, however, it is definitely not a call from the Vermont Right to Life Committee (VRLC) or the National Right to Life Committee, which the VRLC is affiliated with.
Toborg says VRLC has not solicited funds by telephone for years and that these calls are a scam from a fake group. She advises anyone who has pledged money to this fake group to not follow through on it. Anyone who receives such a call should contact their local police department. Toborg also advises anyone who received a letter or pledge form as a result of this phone scam to send a copy to the VRLC office at PO BOX 1079, Montpelier, VT 05601 so they can further investigate.
