it is a forgery I talked with a represenitive from the FCC he said all legitimate companies observe the do not call list and that most charities no longer use phone requests any more so when you do get a phone call and it's no one you know 100% sure it is a scammer ..his advice was do not answer if you do not know who it is..if you hate hearing the phone ring push the answer button then the end button soon after...so it comes down to this do not answer your phone unless you know who's calling..
