Sometimes we nearly break our neck in trying to answer the phone, thinking it is an *expected* call, only to find that it is one of those computer-generated calls.
 This we find to be an affront to our privacy and we consider such activity to be less than acceptable.

Got a call from someone claiming they were taking donations for a firefighters group. Didn't know they resorted to cold calling... :-/

Called saying they were fundraising for firefighters who were raising money for Muscular Dystrophy.  Was aggressive and then very rude.

Called on July 7th but we were out . Left no message.
Called again on  July 24th and asked to speak to me specifically. When I said I was speaking , he slowly hung up. It was a very clear masculine voice.

I work at a cafe in Victoria and got a call from this number. They explained the fundraising situation for firefighters and muscular dystrophy, and asked if they could count on our support. As soon as I said that I'd have to speak with my manager first, they said they had the wrong number and promptly hung up the phone. Very suspicious.
