I got a call this afternoon from 763-237-3121 say that they were with some charity for Homeless Vets of America or something like that. I explained that I could not do a donation because my husband is a Disabled Vet and we barely make our own expenses each month. He pressured me saying "These men and women died for your rights in this country", to which again I explained that my husband is a Disabled Vet and I hung up. When I searched for the number I could only pull up that it was a land line out of Cambridge Minnesota.

Got a rude, pushy call from "Marvin Booth" with "Community Welfare" from this other number - 843-215-5293. My web search brought up this post so I think they might be using a different number now, same scammers.
He kept asking the owner's name, verified the company name and hung up when I wouldn't give more information, refused to give me any info about who he was or what he wanted.

We just got a call and a hang up from this number. 'Philip Tremble' asked for our owner, and as the owner I said to please hold, when the phone was muted it was immediately hung up. No idea where 'Philip' was calling from.

Received a call from this individual asking me if we were "ABC Company" @ and named our address. I asked excuse me and he repeated hisself. I still did not answer and he hung up.

Missed a call with no message. Called back there was no answer or voicemail. I will block this number going forward.

I just got a call from this number. Didn't answer; no message. If it makes a difference, I do live in Minnesota, where the call originates from, and I do have a small business (self-employed; I'm the only one running it so I guess I'm the "owner"). Glad I didn't answer!
| Doc 2012-08-13 02:58:41 Unknown |
Yes, those idiots are still robo-calling, even home phones, and leaving no message. Caller ID says they are in Cambridge MN.
| Doc 2012-08-13 02:51:46 Unknown |
It is August 2012 and they are still at it: robo calling my newly-issued home phone in Minnesota and leaving no message. Caller ID showed them as Cambridge MN, as others have stated.

Just received a call. Caller said my name as a question. I said yes, he hung up on me.

Just got a call saying they were a government somthing I could not understand. asked to repeat and he (a black mans voice) said to check my smoke detectors. . now as soon as you answer with a yes or sure they seem to think they got you or what they want and hang up on you. I am calling the police.

The gentleman called ask to speak to the owner. He mentioned that it was a civic matter and needed to speak directly to the owner. I asked him for more information and he said he was not at liberty to give that information to me. Since I wasn't giving him the owners name, he wasn't going to give me the information I needed. So the call ended.

If you are getting phone calls from this number it is because they are doing fund raising in your area and are trying to get you to pledge money. They called my home for this purpose a few months ago and I researched the charity they were collecting for and found it was legit. Unfortunately, they keep calling me. If you wish to have them stop calling you all you have to do is call the number and when you listen to the voicemail message there are actual instructions on how to leave them a message to get your phone number added to their Do Not Call list. I personally decided to do this because I do not like solicitation calls. All I had to do was leave my name and my phone number twice per their instructions. Their message stated it could take up to 72 hours to be added and so I should never hear from them again.

Odd that this caller knows your name when he calls, than hangs up..... says he has the wrong number after he confirms your name? Hmmmm.
he is after some information, would be nice to find out who the caller is. He would be making his last call.
Scam

Said he was with a "fire fighter's memorial fund" and "could he count on our company support if he mailed out all of the information." I said I didn't know the answer to that question, as I wasn't in a decision making position when it comes to donations. He asked if I was an owner, I said no, and he asked to speak to one of the owners. I field a hundred calls like this every week - if you don't have the owner's phone number or know their name, you probably don't need to speak to them. He stressed that he wanted to speak to the owners, and hung up when I said I'd take a message.

Obvious dishonest and veiled in their approach.
Would not speak with me if I would not validate my first name.

They called and confirmed our business name. He then tried to confirm our address and I told him they have an old address but did not give him our new address. He then asked to speak to the owner. I asked him who was calling and he told me Community Welfare Services. I told him that we do not have an "owner" per say as we are part of a government entity. He then said "Oh, okay, I will call back another time". I told him that he could call back as many times as he wants to but will always get the same answer so he should provide me with further informaiton so that I can address his call. He just said he would call back another time and hung up.

Mike Meyers called our place of business. I asked his name and company name (protocol before I put a call to one of the owners) and was told that is was a "community welfare" issue between him and my boss. I told him that I would have to know a company name before I paged anyone and he snapped, "Community Welfare Services." I had no intention of paging my boss for this RUDE individual who tries to bully his way in. Googled the company name and called the number. Asked to be taken off of the list. Maybe this will help some of you too!

just got a call from this number. The caller ID showed Cambridge MN. I've received calls from this number before, soliciting for the vets. Not sure if it's a legit outfit or not but this time I answered with "Hello Cambridge Minnesota" and the guy just said he had a wrong number and hung up.

Just got a call
he asked "is this ___?" i said yes and he said "I'm sorry I have the wrong number" I hung up and then thought about it, it can't be the wrong number if he knows my name. Strange. I won't be answering from that number anymore.

We receive calls from this guy at least once a week. He says his name is "Mike Meyers" and asks to speak with our companies owner by his 1st name. When we ask him anything he gets upset and says he'll call back. I called the number back and got a recording. I left him the message to take us off his calling list. Here is some information that might be helpful to you if he keeps calling (and won't stop if you tell him to):

Called a few weeks ago, asked if I was the owner and I told him we were a non-profit. He asked if we were on ________ Ave and I said yes. He said he was "doing research" but wouldn't answer any other questions.

This caller, from a Cambridge number, said, "Mrs ***" and I said yes - and he said, wrong number and hung up - this fellow knew my name
| dot 2011-11-11 23:04:12 Unknown |
Phone rang; I didn't recognize the number, so didn't answer. No message was left. Supposed to be a landline from Cambridge, MN.
| John 2011-11-06 23:36:44 Unknown |
Caller ID only showed "MINNESOTA". No message left, and I didn't pick up the phone.

Got a call from this number to our non-profit childcare center. The guy was very rude. He asked to speak to the owner. I asked who he was, he said "Marvin." I said, "who are you with Marvin?" He said, "I asked you a question, are you the owner?" I said what was your name again?" He said, "Marvin Booth with Children's Social Services, and I asked you a question mam."
"Are you the owner?" "I said, no we don't have an owner." He said, thanks and hung up.
Very rude, gruff and got a bad feeling from it!

Got a very suspicious call from this number tonight - the guy hung up on me when I told him my wife was unavailable and had asked him who was calling. I will be phoning the police in the morning.
When I called the number back I got the message much like CC in the post above.
