Rec'd a call from 203-583-8574. Was waiting for a call from my sisiter-in-law--thought maybe she used her cell phone (which I don't know the #) to call me back.
Turns out to be a guy w/ a VERY thick, almost unitelligible Southern accent. Couldn't make out most of what he was saying, but I picked up bits and pieces and found he was calling to solicit funds for the Special Olympics.
I told him if I wanted to donate, I make the first step and contribute; I don't give to people who call me. I told him not to call again. No apology, just kept talking.
Do they really get funds this way??
