I missed a call by this # the other day, and answered today. The guy asked for Angela, and I stated that my name is Claire. He said "oh, then maybe you can help me," then started on his spiel (About the NC Hwy Patrol or the Troopers association, and providing funds for funeral expenses, etc). I wanted for him to finish, then asked him why, when calling for donations, they purposefully ask for a random name that they know is not correct. Unfortunately I could not hear his answer as the connection was horrible because it was storming, but I just hung up anyway.
Called my home phone last night, but I didn't bother to answer given the information in the previous reports. Given the information that has been shared on this number... the caller is a likely scammer. But even if they were to be proven legitimate... why would anyone ever donate even a dime to a stranger who calls them on their phone and interrupts their peace and quiet? I never give to any charity canvasser who calls me, and usually make it a point to not give to that charity in the future via any other means.
