This is a scam, do not give them money, they are brash, aggressive and full of it. If you ask them to send you info on their charity, they hang up. These people are out to take money from anyone using our great military as a front. The FTC has been notified, hopefully they will end their horrible tactics. Scam alert.
They told us they were Illinois Vietnam veterans--but according to a web posting, no such organization exists--they are being investigated--try googling Illinois Vietnam veterans--and you can read the info.
My son answered the phone, and the caller asked to speak to my wife by name. She wasn't available, so my son gave the phone to me. I said "hello" and the caller hung-up.
Caller wanted a donation. I told him I couldn't afford it. He insisted I could. Asked what he could put me down for. I told him I wanted to talk it over with my wife. He said you don't need to rtalk to your wife. Can I put you down for $12.? I said don't put me down for anything. he was still insisting when I hung up. Who or what is this number?
