got this call this morning 12/31/14. Caller was calling for donations to the police department. Told them not interested and they kept insisting about sending out a package. Would not take "no" for an answer. Caller ID stated the call was from Charlotte, NC.
Police departments around here don't solicit money over the phone. SCAM......
If you signed up for a online class (seems like any class) they know your info. The caller asked for your first name like he/she knows you. Then hangs up leaving no message. I never called back but reading other unwanted calls on the WEB it seems most likely it's a scam. I wish there is something we can do to stop these immediately. The only suggestion is to add a complaint to Federal Trade Commission. https://www.ftccomplaintassistant.gov/#crnt&panel1-4
