Received a call from them just now. Like someone else mentioned, they said they were from a breast cancer foundation going to have a drive and looking for monetary support. I asked where the drive was going to be held and they seemed surprised by my question, but said it would be in Florida. This seemed odd as the area code is a SoCal number. I've also received other fundraising calls and never have they gotten so quick to asking you for money. Well I did agree to a small amount and they transferred me to "quality control" to verify my donation they would be mailing me a donor packet for. She then asks me to verify my name spelling. This was okay I suppose, but then she asks for my address. I asked why they didn't already have it, she said they don't but they have to verify things like this because they constantly change. I then asked where she got my number and they said they couldn't disclose that. Bull [***]. I said I wasn't comfortable with it and ended it. As someone else mentioned, it was a strange conversation as if it was very rehearsed from a script, so I suppose it could be a automated thing.
