Just received another call from 312-878-9776, they called yesterday too. The name that came up was M Hartman both times. The man on the phone claimed to be from the "Fallen Firefighters Association", which I find odd would come up as M Hartman. He wanted to know if he sent me a donation form would I send in a donation. He did not sound professional, and there were no other voices in the background. It just did not feel right so I said "no" and hung up.
I Googled "Fallen Firefighters Association" and the closest match was the "National Fallen Firefighters Association" http://www.firehero.org/ who had this on their website: "The National Fallen Firefighters Foundation does not solicit donations by phone or employ outside companies to do so. You can make a donation by mail, by phone or through our website."
I would call this a scam.
