I don't usually answer these calls but I did this one as I just got my grandson down for a nap. It was also a "local" number and I was expecting a call from a doctor's office. So I answered. Voice asked if it was me by first name. I said yes. Then he addressed me as Mrs last name. "I am called on behalf of the police association for our yearly fundraiser". Me click.

Years ago I did not realize it was scam and donated $20.  When I got my bank statement I had also been charged an exchange fee for Canada!  I live in Vermont.  So when they called the next year I refused because of that charge. The guy had the nerve to tell me that it was because that's where their account was!  I told him you have some nerve!  Are you trying to tell me there are no accountants anywhere in the state of Vermont? He blustered a bit and before he could come up with an answer, I told him I knew it was a scam and I would never donate over the phone again! And hung up. This number is a Rutland Vermont exchange.

Be careful out there folks.

I also have been getting calls from this number.  I haven't picked it up, I'm just upset about being woken up early in the morning (I work nights.)

Im getting these calls as well. I haven't answered. I appreciate you posting and reporting. I didn't expect to find info. Thanks again.

We have been getting calls from this number for a few weeks now, sometimes twice a day. We have caller ID and haven't picked up, and they never leave a message. I'm about to buy a new set of phones that will allow me to block numbers, so these sorts can no longer ring my phone.

Appreciate the info!  Been getting these calls as well and since I know no one in Rutland don't pick up. And keep my machine off when I'm home.
