Persistent pest, waste of everyone's time. Who gives money over the phone to someone they don't know. For every one out of a thousand who will, the other 999 of us have to be bothered.
I turned off my answering machine and then picked up the phone and hung it up right away. Waiting for my call blocker to arrive in the mail so I will block this number as well as any other numbers. Also, will be reporting it to the donotcall registry, though often that seems to be a waste of time.
What I am doing, both for numbers originating from my state as well as others, is to print up the complaints that are posted (such as this board) and mail them with a cover letter to the appropriate state attorney general to let them know what is coming from their areas. Perhaps if they get bombarded with these complaints, they will investigate since no one else seems to do anything about it.
Called our DNC registered landline on 07/22/2014 @ 04:45 PM from Yonkers, NY. Caller ID shows Yonkers, NY. No message was left. We set voicemail to pick up on 5 rings and robo-callers disconnect in 4 or fewer rings.
I get a lot of (914) Yonkers “charities”. These people are either 3rd party telemarketers or total scammers. Don't know and don't care.
