I won't answer a call from an area code I don't recognize, or clear understanding of name on caller id and once again I see I was right in doing so... Thanks 800notes.
This number has been on my caller id several times. Finally I answered it this morning, the lady asked for my husband by his first name as it appears in our local phone book. I said he wasn't here and she says "Well HI! This is (some female name) calling from the Breast Cancer"....I hung up. I hate ALL telemarketing calls but the ones that use cancer, wounded veterans, policemen or firefighters REALLY make me angry!! Part of me doesn't want to cuss them out (as I would others because it infuriates me to be bothered by such when we are on the national do not call list) because what if it is real...though I am 99% certain none of the ones we have received have been...it is just SO wrong! When I donate to charities I do it on a local level, only after I have been assured that my name and other info won't be shared and I always do so in cash.
