I received one call from this number; no message was left. Later I blocked my number (*67) then called back. Much to my surprise, a woman answered immediately and said "Thank you for calling us on behalf of the VFW. Am I speaking with [my name]?" I hung up.First, I did make an unsolicited donation to the VFW, which I consider a very worthy organization. This was in December. Since then I received a solicitation in January, then this call. Second, the VFW website provides no phone number for its national headquarters, so I can't verify whether this number was actually for the VFW or for a fundraising organization with unblocking software which identified my number and linked it with a VFW donation.Regardless, I was offended by the unblocking software and being contacted by phone so recently after making a donation. From reading the other posts here, I suspect this is a fundraising outfit and not the VFW itself.
I called the number back that was left on my phone and the message said it's a center for Fundraising. The message also state that Fundraisers are exempt from the DO NOT CALL registry but you can press "2" to have your number removed from their list.
2nd call from this number in as many days. We do not have voicemail on the home phone, so they can't leave messages - but the 2nd call came in on my cell. In sincerely hope this was by random dial and not because they were able to connect the 2 numbers (is that possible?). We NEVER answer calls from any toll free number, or from any that caller ID notes as "Unavailable." in a perfect world we would be able to block them also so that we don't have to listen to the phone ring 20-30 times. Anyone know a way to do this that is actually functional?PS: call type? this is not on the list below, but the call type is UNWANTED
Just got a call from this number, but caller ID didn't show a name. I picked up and said, "What DO you want?" in an unfriendly voice. No answer. Then I looked here and decided to follow Kathy's tip (call back and wait for option 2, which is "be taken off their list"). A person answered, however. I asked to be removed from the list and the guy asked if I was sure I wanted to be taken off the list of a cause I've long supported. I said that I did, that I contribute every year, sometimes twice a year, and that postal mail and e-mail from them are more than sufficient to remind me of their existence. Then I repeated my request and was told that it would be honored.
I receive calls everyday from this number, along with various other unknown numbers which I don't answer.I have heard that if you answer the phone after a couple of rings, hold it for a second and hang up, it knocks your phone number out of their computer call rotation. That's what I started doing a few days ago. We'll see if it works.
