The caller I spoke to said he was calling for AmVets. Sounds like a "call for hire" service that takes a nice big chunk of whatever money they collect for the charity -- and I use that term loosely -- that hired them. Save your money. Make your contributions count. Find causes that you believe in and want to help and Give Direct.
My husband picked up... they said they were with the Fraternal Order of Police.. only problem is they're in Muncie Indiana and we're about 1,000 miles away from there.. Kept asking for our address... needless to say he didn't give it out. Told them to put us on do not call list, which seems pretty ineffective to say the least. At any rate, I just added that number to a growing list of blocked calls on our phone service.
Got a Call from this number - said that he was calling for Am Vets and wanted me to pledge $12 - told him that I was a member of the American Legion Riders and the Patriot Guard - he hung up on me - this has to be a scam!
