Actually the call may have been ligit!!!!  As I recently found out, many of the school organizations are working with a company here in the DFW area that do "thank you" plaques for the parents that the kids can order as a surprise for a small fee instead of the usual $40-80 charged by most companies that do these plaques.  they make it up in quantity sales. While your call may have been a scam, if your child is part of JROTC in particular or other school activity, it may well be ligit.  The organization gets a portion of the sales. Be sure to check with the person before you are rude and if you express that you are concerned they will usually fill you in on the details on the promise that you wont spoil the intentions of the child. ie Just be sure to act surprised when it arrives!!!!  they are really beautiful and heart warming plaques...I love mine!

Called today asking for my 15 year old daughter - by name - and knew what high school she attends!  Wanted to talk to her about ordering some type of plaque for her parents - I listened in on the whole call.  When she said she did not want to order anything the caller stared to get pushy and my daughter hung up on him!

A female called for my 14 year old son.  I just told her he wasn't home since his friends usually call his cell phone.  The caller ID said Ring Central so I know it wasn't one of his friends.  I then looked up the phone # on the internet and got this site.

alright they called me said there name was neal
asked if i wanted to buy a gift the number
was 214 432 1579

I can't believe in this day and age that a company who represents itself with pride would solicit children for their own personal growth.
They should be ashamed of themselves.  If they need to grow they should advertise and use their marketing dollars more effectively.
I have filed a report with our local police and filed a complaint with the FCC.  I hope you will do the same.
