He said he was with the Alberta fire chiefs office and raising money for some Xmas charity called every night at 5 pm so i told him i was eating so they call in the am

Phone rings, as soon as you pick up, "they" hang up..
"They" called couple of times, so far I never talked to somebody...

They call repeatedly. ?I've now decided that I will never donate over the phone again.

This "unknown name" number has called me several times over the past couple of days and at different times. I finally called the number back today and got some answering message saying it was a charity call and asked what state I was calling from?????? I thought this was a Canadian number? After reading the comments here, I will continue to not answer the phone when this number shows up on call display. If they catch me on a bad day, I might just give them a piece of my mind...IF they speak at all according to some of your comments, and demand they take me off their list. Yes, I am on the DO NOT CALL list, but I think charities and political parties are exempt, which is why they are getting away with it.

Thanks for the information, I answered the phone twice, and nobody talked.

Allegedly a call from the canadian union of fire chiefs looking for a donation with your credit card. Scam.
