I wonder if it those local vermin based in Worcester who call themselves "All Pro productions".
They choose names that no one could refuse, like "Orphans of blind firefighters".
The next month it is 'Widows of Hero Policemen". Then "Crippled American Veteran Heroes". Then "Vests for your Local Police". It never ends.
If you EVER give to any of these "Charities", your name and number is then sold to Sucker Lists, and at that point it is best just to have the phone disconnected.
To avoid postal prosecution, they will not let you mail a check. As a comfort Factor you are to sign a check "Deposit Only" and tape it to your front door. Then a runner comes by to get it.
Caller ID showed simply "Boston MA". I called the number back (prefixed by *67 to hide my caller ID) and it was recorded voice claiming to be the "American Veterans Support Foundation." There is no organization by that name in Boston. The voice would respond to my speech as if it were trying to sound like a live person, but the responses were obviously recorded. It was trying to solicit a "donation". The whole thing smelled bad and I hung up when it was about to transfer me to a real person. I see some mentions of a similarly named and very poorly-regarded charity, but I'm not convinced this was even they. I consider this caller a scammer.
We got a call from this number today at 2:10 pm and didn't answer. The caller ID was UNKNOWN NAME. A legitimate charity would identify itself. This number will be added to our call blocker.
