I answered a call from this number and it was an automated operator asking if I needed prayer. I do, so I pressed 1 as instructed. They asked for my name and gave just enough time for me to state my name. After that the operator stated that I would have 10 seconds to state why I needed prayer if I would like to. I said that I need prayer for "immediate and extended family problems". There was just enough time for that statement. After they said that they will pray for me and will call within 24 hrs to pray with me. It's only been a few moments since I hung up so I cannot report on the follow up call just yet. When it comes to prayer I will take all I can get lol. They did not ask for any personal information other than my name and a brief description of what I needed prayer for so I felt comfortable accepting this call. It's odd but like I said we need prayers so badly right now and I like to believe there are genuine Christians out there so here's hoping.
SCAM-it's the newest one-at least 6 (or more) St Mary's prayer lines-you get prayers now (sure you do) and get hit up for donations later. Think TV evangelist and Elmer Gantry. They're playing on folks soft side for religion. They are sinners and thieves. If you want religious involvement go to the local church of your choice and partake of the real deal.
I'm sorry, but I don't give any money to COLD CALLERS. You don't know who they really are since it's so easy to SPOOF and IMPERSONATE any organization. Now blocked.
Did they ask for you by name? If not, it was likely just a robo-dialler calling numbers in sequence. If they did, they could have simply gotten your number from the phone book.
