I Just Remember That A Charity Scammer Who Calls People Once A Month Hasn’t Called Me In Months…

He works for a charity based in Texas either soliciting for injured police officers or disabled Veterans. Has a very distinct deep voice. After a few years of telling him to take my phone number off of his list I asked him exactly how much of the proceeds went to the intended recipients. He stammered and replied that they had overhead and salaries to pay. I asked him how much that was and he said “93 %”. I told him SHAME ON YOU. He apologized and hung up and continued calling monthly.

I am wondering if that charity got investigated and dealt with, if he quit, or if my phone company blocked the number as a Spam number.

I used to have one who called constantly. He would preface his call, with a heartfelt, "Oh, I'm SO glad I caught you!" He also wanted money for some sort of police organization, but I called my local police, and they never heard of this organization, and I reported them to their telephone scam unit.

@4meAndyou A lot of scammers use the word "police" in their title.

I don't get them calls I have a classic answering machine and I don't pick up till I hear their voice. If I don't know the voice, i don't pick up.
