Just got a call from "GLEN HEAD NY". It is a solicitor for the North Shore Animal League. They pretended that I have supported them in the past. I pretended to be the owner of a taxidermy store and asked to buy all their "extra dog & cats" (not true, btw).
You can't stop these paid solicitors from calling you, yelling at them won't help, & the "do-not-call list" is a JOKE, so the best you can do is try and waste as much as their time as possible on the phone. I often offer to "put them on hold and go get my credit card" ... they usually stay on hold for about 10 minutes before they give up.
I don't answer unless I know who's calling, so when Glen Head, NY came up I didn't answer. Live on the West Coast & don't know anyone there. If, as one caller stated, its North Shore Animal League, they are a good animal support group. However, I don't do phone donations since you don't really know who's calling & no sense exposing yr CC info. Not nice "playing" w/them, they do good things. Having caller ID is great, I don't waste my time or theirs answering if I don't want to deal w/whomever. I mail my donations to the charities / rescue groups of my choice.
I have donated to North Shore Animal League in the past. However, I do not like phone solicitations. They spend way too much money trying to get money. Wasteful!!! ASPCA is the same way. Always sending crap I don't want/need. I will not donate to charities that waste my money like this. Goodbye, NSAL!
Keep receiving calls from ANIMAL LEAGUE, but they never leave a message, nor is there anyone there when I answer the phone. I have donated with North Shore Animal League in the past; I'm thinking it's probably them.
