The caller was rather evasive when I asked if he was a paid fund raiser. He asked for $30 and said he would mail the information for me to mail a check.
I get the same calls. If they indeed are for fundraising for Firefighters, I wonder how they are collecting for my local volunteers.... Seems the local FD was caught a few years ago stealing the donated money and were told (court order) to STOP collecting donations.
So, that tells me 1 of 2 things -- either my local volunteer FD is breaking a court order (by having those people solicit for them), or the telemarketing company that is calling is a scam.
