Caller identified his organization as Zentec (spelling?), and was soliciting funds for the Police Athletic League. I said I didn't pledge funds by phone and said they could mail me their material, and I hung up. (If they know who I am, then they have my address. -- The caller did know my first name.)
I looked up both Zentec and Xentec on google.com and found nothing related to the P.A.L.
I called back to 860-269-8751 and got a recorded announcement from the P.A.L. and a reference to their main number at 800-396-1757.
Called about 7:45pm. I saw Unknown Name, but the number came up. Figured I'd answer it. The guy (kid) identified himself, said he was working for a non-profit organization for PAL (National Police Athletic League). He was very polite, I let him go through his spiel. I asked if there was a website where I could get more information and he promptly gave me: www.nationalpal.org. I told him that I would check it out and donate via the web. He tried, he really did, but the kicker was his line "If you donate over the phone, it's tax deductible, but deductible if you do it through the web". I asked how that could be, and he was honest and said "I don't know".
This is the first time I got called from them. I'll have to see if they try again.
