Late night on a Sunday, the phone rang with another vague pitch. The caller claimed to represent a veterans organization and pressed for a donation, a classic hallmark of a charity‑style scam. These imposters often reuse names like “Rita” to add false credibility and will ignore any request to be placed on a do not call list. The safest play is to hang up immediately, avoid sharing personal or financial details, and let a reputable call blocker handle repeat offenders. Reporting the number to the FTC or your carrier can also help curb future attempts. Stay skeptical and protect your peace of mind.
It's evident that scammers disregard the Do Not Call list, which is why utilizing a call blocker can be a worthwhile investment, especially considering the lack of correlation between their calls and the day of the week.
This guy has called me three times in one week, even after i told him i wasnt interested and to put me on the do not call list, he still called me on a sunday.
Typically, scammers request to speak with someone named 'Rita', and this call followed that pattern, with the caller switching to a veterans' organization claim after being denied.
During the call, the individual claimed to be representing a veterans' organization and solicited a donation, but after being told not to call again, the conversation was terminated.
No message was left by the caller, just a private caller ID, seems like a scam to me
