I had a call from this number asking for a donation to the Make A Wish Foundation. I said I didn't have time and they called three more times. I seldom send money to phone solicitors. My number is also on the Do Not Call List. I had another call from 626-513-0960 from the Sacramento, CA area with the same request.
I'm not aware if it's a scam, I have donated to Fraternal order of police in the past, and firefighter's causes. They keep coming back. If you are on a DO NOT CALL LIST, resubmit your info because appraently you've bought something new or donated to someone after being placed on the list. Well, that's how I hear it works. Anything new calls for a resubmission of your info to DO NOT CALL. They're CONSTANTLY calling me because I have donated.. Yes, Sunday nights included (late, as in around 9pm my time, dinner time which is not acceptable). I've recently contacted my phone company and had call blocking put on. This is a great tool folks! I've stopped 2 from calling. I also included anonymous call rejection so my line is uber quiet except for these guys now.. I'm not on a do not call list since about 10 years ago. Good luck to you.. Peace be with you :)
Charities that call asking for donations, even the best of them typically keep 50-70% of every donation. The ones that use "police" in the name are even worse. They usually keep about 95% of every donation. And any time you donate based on a call from a telemarketer you are putting yourself on a donors list, guaranteeing you'll get more calls.
Charities are exempt from the Do Not Call List law.
Thanks "not Michael"... That's good information. I do appreciate it, I'm getting repeat calls from all of them and did not know they are exempt from the DNC list. I may resort back to blocking them. I've blocked a few!
