I've let this go to message center before but they never leave a message. This time I picked up on the 3rd ring and they hung up. HATE these intrusive calls!
The man said he was George, was insistant on talking to my aged mother, who, he said, they talked to every year, but avoided telling me what organization he reperesented. He was pushy. I said she was asleep, he said thank ou and hung up. he said he represented "California Firefighters".
This was a hang-up call on the answering machine. I found the number on my CID, and wanted to know who it belonged to. I got a phonecall from the California Police Activities League a while back... this is probably them trying to roust money out of me... GOOD LUCK!
I was babysitting when this number called and one of the girls answered. He said that he was from Kern County Sheriff's department. Didn't say his name but asked if everything was okay. Then he asked the girl if her parents were at home. She said no. And he said okay and then hung up.
I keep getting hangups the moment i answer the phone from this number. It is very scary. I keep thinking maybe it's part of a network trying to find out when people are home so they can go rob them when they are not. I called the number back and a recording stated it was a Fund Raising Organization ... sure! If they were legit they wouldn't hangup on people!
