Who called from 6078214927

Called on 01/10/2014 @ 05:43 PM from Binghamton, NY. No message left. Caller ID shows "New York Vietna" This is a long running scam from various (607) numbers. This scam resurfaces once a month or so.

Called during dinner but no voice message was left. The URL for a New York Vietnam Veterans Foundation, Inc. is http://www.nyvietnamvets.org but you get a 404 error, page not found while connecting. They are located in Sidney, NY which is South of Norwich and West of Oneonta and (607) 563-2901 is their phone number per https://www.fundraise.com/non-profit/sidney-n ... rporated#donate. They claim to be a legitimate non-profit organisation on the guidestar.org web site. Their income/expense sheet on that site is dated 2011 and they will show you 990 forms from the IRS as late as 2011 - nothing from 2013. Another fund raising phone number listed for giving to the organisation is through First Giving at (877) 365-2949 or email [email protected]. The comment on First Giving web site (http://www.firstgiving.com/73048/fundraisers) for this organisation is "There are no fund raisers" and it is dated 2014. The deductibility limit is 50% per their EIN 11-3173156 IRS listing. So based on that information, if you want to donate to this organisation, call them first (at their number) and confirm that they are currently raising money. It may be a scam or, since Vietnam was going on in the late 1960's, there may still be Veterans alive and in need in New York State.

I was called at 6:36 PM (dinner time) on Wednesday, January 22, 2014. I picked up the call while I was in my kitchen.
A male caller asked for me by name. I asked him who was calling. He responded so quickly, I didn't catch his name. He quickly went on to say that he was calling on behalf of ACS, I believe it was. I asked - What is ACS? I believe his quick response was "Associated Community Services". I tried to ask him why he was calling me (as I am on the Do NOT Call list in NYS) but this fast talking young fellow just talked right over my questions to him - almost nonstop.
Yes. He was one RUDE dude. Definately NOT soliciting for any legitimate organization other than his own wallet. He ended with - "Can I send you a pledge form?' I told him he could do whatever he wanted with his pledge form. After the call was completed, I checked my caller ID which indicated "607 821-4927 / New York Vietna". Horse manure. A google check of that telephone brings me directly to your 800 Notes web site, which has 19 very similar postings - a FAST Talking, rude MALE telemarketer - all since January 2013. Why can't anyone in law enforcement get this guy?

The #'s that I don't reconize and keep calling, I have the radio or TV on and I put the phone close to the speaker. that way they are charged for the call plus they end up hanging up because no one answered. I have done this to at least 2 of the repeat callers.
