Sounded like a computer, and knew my name, even though it isn't associated with the billing on my cell phone. Was 'raising money for vets.' As soon as I politely asked where they obtained my number, it immediately apologized and said that they would take my name off their list without continuing the pitch.

Not sure which call this is, so I'll go with what the OP said.  I didn't appreciate this cold call, however.  It's Sunday, I have a rare day off from work, and I'm intently watching the NFL football playoff games all day long.  Don't need any interruptions!

If I wanted to donate money, I do it *myself* (e.g., Toys for Tots, Red Cross, certain GoFundMe causes, etc.).  No solicitations!  Why don't you guys just get a piece of cardboard and a black sharpie and work at busy intersections where there are traffic lights...
