Got a call from this number a few minutes ago. It was a male voice, but I think it was a robot that had someone on the other end clicking responses. "He" would not stop what he was saying until he was finished and then there was a long pause after my questions that seemed like someone clicking or typing responses. Anyway, said he was with the Firefighters Association and was looking for donations for burned children. I asked "what county is this for?" he said that the "Firefighters Association is based in Santa Anna California." I asked "Then why are you calling someone in Texas?" he responded that the "Firefighters Association is a National Organization." and again asked for donations for burned children. I asked "What about the news report I saw that said Fire Departments do not solicit over the phone?" he said "oh, ok." and hung up. I googled the number and it looks like the call originated in Yorktown Texas. When I called the number back, it said it was not in service. Seriously, how stupid do you have to be to fall for this $#^! ?
