This appears to be one of a number of march of dimes numbers, all from the same call den in the Yonkers, NY area, beware also:
914-294-2331
914-294-2364
914-294-2421
914-294-2453
914-294-2480
This MOD telemarketer from Yonkers, NY is becoming a real nuisance, bordering on harassment. I've lost count on how many numbers they use because they call so frequently always switching numbers.
Caller ID says "Yonkers NY". They leave no message.
I call back after hours (using *67 to block my number). Their recorded message identifies them as the "March of Dimes". They are sorry they missed me and will call again (how wonderful). You are offered the option to press 1 for additional info. That provides a message about what they do. At the end of this is an option to be placed on their Do-Not-Call list (I never do this as it can make things worse).
I can't say that I appreciate them spoofing their caller ID.
I concur with "petard" on every one of the 914 numbers in his post (same post date as this post). I have also received calls from the MoD from the following numbers:
This is likely a hired-gun telemarketing firm for calling on behalf of MoD. If you wish to give, please, contact MoD directly. That way the annoying telemarketer gets no cut of your donation.
I wonder if it is worth calling MoD directly and letting them know how obnoxious their hired firm is.
I briefly looked at the criticism section of MoD's wikipedia page. That alone was enough for me to consider donating to a different charity.
