I never answer the phone for these types of calls. I keep getting calls from this number and it just shows Michigan on the caller ID. I leave the machine pick it up but they never leave a message so I figured it can't be too important. They call here at least 2 or 3 times a day. I'm also on the do not call list but I still get these crank calls.
This is a scam. Caller ID showed only "Michigan" The caller requested Mrs **** and identified himself as a U.S. Marine Corp rep on behalf of some Breast Cancer fund (no specific fund supplied) When I politely requested to be removed from their database, he said no, he will not do that and then became sarcastic and rude. I quickly thanked him, hung up, then promptly blocked the number .
These scam artists do a huge disservice to all branches of both the U.S. Armed Forces and all legitimate Cancer funds which DO display their identities and phone numbers.
While I've used this site regularly to check numbers from unknown sources (all of which so far have been pure scammers) I've never posted a comment until now. I've gotten much useful info here, and hopefully mine will be helpful to others who get calls from this number.
I also hope that this website logs and forwards our complaints to the legitimate outfits being impersonated. Thank you for this service.
This is a Michigan based telephone scam. Prople claim they are collecting money for Breast Cancer Awareness, when questioned they claim they are Good Charity, Incorporated.
Note the Inc part folks. 1st, charities are not incorporated. They are non-profit organizations. 2nd. Charities do not solicit funds by telephone for two reasons, one its rude and two, to protect people. I've been a member of American Philanthropuc Association for years. We assess & rate charities. None of our hundreds of approved charities from March of Dimes to United Fund solicit by phone. This is also true for Police Charities and Veterans groups.
Only political groups, primarily Democratic Party groups disturb people at home by calling them. You will get plenty off those calls soon from Unions in the tank with Democrats.
male voice asked for me by name when I answered the ring. He said he was with the Marines. I said please remove me from your list and he said " no I will not do that do you hear me." I then hung up.
