Got a call yesterday, saw it on my "missed" list today. Glad I checked it out first. Sometimes legitimate businesses
or dr. offices call me and I don't always have their numbers in my contact lists (COMPLAINT: I have business/medical
main numbers listed, but often employees call me for something - app't reminder, etc., they use their own mobile phones. The area codes are from out of state! Unless they leave a message, I have NO idea where the call is coming from, so don't return it). Back to today's call: I'm distressed that they now have my mobile number. Scam callers
know they can't get me on the land line, I make it a rule to NEVER respond. Eventually they stop, but the calls don't stop - there are too many other scammers behind them.
He was asking for money for the local firemen and their annual "ball". He asked if I'd like to give before it started and went
on to a pitch of how needed the firefighters are in this city, etc.... He didn't identify himself with name or anything and
I have actually never received a call of any kind on my phone so I don't know how he got my number. I am not even living
in the state he called or city, but did keep my phone. I told him to not call again.
Received the call on 08/05/2015 at 5.22P.M. He said he was from some kind of firefighters org. & I told him I was in the shower.He asked if he could call back later which was what I wanted since I have now blocked his number.
I never have recalled receiving donation calls from firemen only the Police.They had the same area code so I answered it. They are calling from Fayetteville N.C.! Scammers!
Just got a call from this number, but I didn't answer it. When I try to call them
Back it says user busy and doesn't ring at all. This is indicative of them using an app that presents a fraudulent cover number.
