The caller mentioned there was a benefit for families that needed assistance that were burned out of their homes and so on after he said he was from the TN Firefighters Association. I asked him to take me off their list; I simply do not donate. When I said for him to take me off their list, he replied "was there anything we did to offend you, Sir?" and I said please take me off their list a second time.
I answered phone on this one because it was a call from within my area. It was a man calling from the Knoxville, TN firefighters association trying to sell tickets to an event that would benefit the children of displayed families due to fire in their homes. It's a very worthy cause, but I could not buy any tickets at this time because money is real tight at this time of year. Otherwise, I would have.
I didn't answer, and no message was left. However, I mistrust just about everyone, and don't believe the call was from firefighters, as Timbo writes - especially when the caller ID reads "W. Knoxville" instead of the organization. Sorry, blocked.

I donated last year but this year I chose not to. Rather than tell them no I have declined answering their calls from several numbers. I have received more than 50 calls in the past 3 months. I consider it pure harassment and would never donate again to such annoying people.
