Don't know how, but my number made it to the "give me money" list. They calll, I don't answer - they do not leave a message. Just add them to your reject list if you have a smart phone.
These people called me at 5:08 asking for information for a scholarship or something. They knew our last names, but did not mention our child's first name or anything. I don't think it is very legit.
We've received several of these calls too...they actually asked for me by my first name. Since I didn't recognize this number and figured it was SPAM, and they never leave any messages, I did a little acting and talked with a foreign-very choppy-accent. (hee hee) The guy hung up. Yeah!
They just called me at at 5:23 today and asked for my parents. I lied and told them that they had the wrong number. Then the caller asked if there was a Michael around and that is my first name. I was shocked, but told them I didn't know and she apologized and hung up. I'm in a very "wtf" state of shock right now.
Keep calling my home number and asking to speak to __'s parents. Can't understand them but pretty sure if they can't pronounce my kids' names (very common names, no silly spelling), I don't need what they are selling.
