Thank you! I'm getting this call constantly too. My blocker tells them if you are a solicitor to please hang up. If they were legit they would hang up. I now have 770 numbers on my blocker. It's crazy...
Number is a local NJ number. It has been obtained now by scammers who have taken over a block of (732) 313-XXXX numbers in an effort to entice local residents to answer calls from what appears to be a "local" caller, when it is not! Once answered, they will ruse you with attempts to get your personal information. With me, the heavy accented man was trying to get me to change my electric company, then he wants a credit card number to pay for the monthly electric supply charges. That's all I need to do to cut my electric bill by 50% he says. Sounds nice, but it's a complete scam! He didn't even know the electric company that services this area. I told him that it was Con Edison to test him, which only serves NYC not NJ... He had no clue because he isn't really selling electric service options. I played along with for awhile as he asks for my credit card number, name, address, DoB, and SSN. I started by giving him a made up address, name, DoB, and social to see how far he would go. When he asked for the CC number I called him out, told him that he wasted his time with me, and I hung up... But I got enough from him to write this post. He never called back. And when you call the number back by turning off your own caller ID, you get a fast-busy signal. Beware of these calls where you don't know the number... If it's legit, they WILL leave a voicemail. They must be getting a lot of vulnerable people because I'm getting several calls per week from this exchange. BEWARE and stay VIGILANT!
Caller ID says Autistic Child. I answered my phone like it was a business and the woman at the other end said my name then I said, what extension? She then made a corny remark "how hard it is to get a hold of you" then I asked for the extension she was looking for (ha ha). She said she was from AC services (I can't get rid of them) and mentioned autistic children. I don't bother with telling them I don't make pledges, etc over the phone anymore because they ignore it. I now just hang up.

This number calls daily but gets disconnected after the first ring as I have a call blocker attached to my home phone. And you can be sure that they are scammers since they don't leave a message.
NetTalk's SPAM detector rates this as "100% Spam" on Caller ID!
It won't answer with blocked caller ID but just calling it it says Autistic Children of America, sounds very legit, a message. Says leave a message. But searching google there is no such organization and no such phone number
