I get a call from that number about every second day. No one is on the other end of the line. I cannot tell them to take my number off their list and I doubt they would.
Now this scam organization is calling claiming to be raising funds for the Michigan Firefighters, out of mount Pleasant, Michigan. What a bunch of [***]!

I am in Maine, and only strictly donate directly to the charities of my choosing in person. While I wasted their time, I heard that someone in the background got $20.00 from someone who was roped into the scam. I hope the poor sap didn't really have their shirt served to them.
Thank you very much for this information. I was suspicious when I got the second call (and never answered the first; no message left), and they asked for someone else. After I said that that person was not available, I asked what company the caller was from, and I was told to say, "Mr. Burns" called. *CLICK*
I immediately called the business office of my phone company, where the Caller-ID said, "NOT AVAILABLE", and they informed me of the scam. Tonight, I got the third call, and said to the caller that I had been informed of this number being a scam. The caller 'assured' me that it was not, and directed me to Miracle Flights' real website. I had already searched for the company by name, and found them to be legit, though unless you put in the telephone-number from your Caller-ID, or are savvy enough to click on the 'Contact Us' on the real page, and not find a match... Remember this: scammers try to be either as smart or smarter than you; don't let them be.
