We live in Dallas and AMVETS called my girlfriends house identified herself as such and wanted my girl to leave a CHECK on the porch to be picked up.........Yeah that's gunna happen.

Sounded like it was from a phone bank.
There was no one the line at first. Then a lady picked up
the phone and said hello. I said may I ask who's calling.
She said who are you?
I said you called me.
She said well I thought I was calling a business, so that was not the proper way to answer the phone, etc.
and I hung up. I called back and got a recording for AmVets. It appears to be a marketing company who solicits for AmVets

I didnt answer because I know AMVETS is a scam.  But these Idiots keep calling

Has been calling and calling and calling...no messages.  Finally answered.  Caller ID says Call Center, MD.

They call several times a day, every day. They refuse to leave a message. That tells me right there this is not a legitimate business call. Besides, I am on the do not call list

They called my wife's CELL phone... I don't know how they got it.... so rude!!!!

They've been calling various times of the day every day for the past couple weeks, and they just called at 8:25 PM  WTH?!  Seriously?!  I'm trying to get my 4 year old in bed.  So I answered and told the lady on the other line just that.  She didn't seem to think it was that late.  When you're pregnant and have other young children, yes it is.

This phone number calls several times a day, every day. They do not leave a message. THis tells me they are not legitimate. If it was a legitimate phone call and they really wanted money, they would leave me a message. Not impressed by them.

Have you ever investigated who you donate to. To see if they do what they say they do with donations. Go to the site below. AMVETs is rated a big fat red "F". I have donated and bought a lot of stuff over the years from AMVETs. NO MORE AMVET's for me!

PS: If someone know a good charity that is rated excellent for using donation properly

These clowns need to stop calling.

It is AMVETs, but AMVETs is not a scam.  They ask for donations of clothing, etc.  They will even come and pick it up.  If you're not ready yet, they will give you a number to call when you are.  The lady I spoke to was very nice.  I'm sure they won't turn down cash, and a lot of legitimate donations are taken by credit card over the phone.  AMVETs has been around for years and has done great work in our communities.

amvets, don't give to them they are a scam , also they are rude if you tell them you don't want to give

I called back and got a recording for AmVets.
