Got this call this morning at 9:15 a.m., disrupting an otherwise peaceful morning. No message. Ever since I signed up for the Do Not Call list, I get MORE unwanted calls like this. That's cause certain organizations, like charities, political campaigns, and survey groups are exempt from not calling you, since they are not selling you something.
Whether this was really American Lung Society or a phishing scam with someone posing as them, I'd never give to a charity over the phone. (Since it could be anybody) I'd contact them directly. Same as I'd never give to someone sitting at a table outside the grocery store.
