It's one of those pre-recorded messages that may sound like a live person but he's not. I was waiting for a call from Time Warner so I said, "Is this Time Warner?" The robo-man said, "Great!" (meaning great that someone answered the phone). Supposedly a police association soliciting donations for fallen policemen's families. They certainly know what track to play when you tell him NO. "Won't you reconsider?" The valid police associations don't call on the phone. When I used to make websites, we had a man ask for seven websites to solicit for everyone from police to fire to all the armed services. They were two men in Ft. Worth. I refused to make the websites unless they paid the entire charge in advance. It wasn't too long before they were run out of Texas and popped up in Florida trying to run the same scam. They give very little money and aren't licensed by the state to solicit. Blocking the number on my phone.
They called to my business line some minutes ago; the guy calling gave his name and claimed to be from the Sheriff and Police Officers Association. Therefore, I immediately stopped his presentation line and told him that if he was not calling to buy insurance I was not able to help him and immediately hung up. I am sure that he was going to ask for a donation but I did not give him the opportunity to proceed. I do not know if they are who their claim to be but, anyway --as a matter of policy-- I never give donations to telephone solicitors.
Called here about 10:45 A.M. CID said "Italy, T" I think my phone allows more space for the first part of the ID, so it chopped off the "x." Don't answer calls from numbers, IDs I don't recognize. Which included place names, phone numbers as the CID, or "unknown," "private number" and so on. This time no message, but I've been getting the calls from the so-called police officers association. As someone mentioned above, I don't "give" over the phone, and abolutely won't give out ANY personal info over the phone. 99% of the calls I get are various scams!
