224 425 5200  Other searches say they are a cell in Arlington Heights, IL.  I believe if they call your phone they should forfeit all rights to privacy and you automatically have the right to know who it is and all about them.  Why are they allowed their privacy and we are not.

They called and said that they are collecting money for "The Disabled and Retired Firefighters of Illinois". When I asked them if the charity is registered with the Illinois Attorney General, they stated that they were. When I asked them to send me info on the charity, they asked that I pledge some money first because "stamps are expensive". When I said that I would donate only if they are an established legitimate charity organization, they said "good luck to you" and hung up.

When I answered all I got was people talking in the back ground.

It's that time of the year people, with the holidays soon to be here, the calls are going to be more frequent and certainly annoying.  Also, many calls concerning the upcoming elections and surveys, etc.  I remember this number from last year.  If you call your local police or fire department, they wil tell you that no local departments solicate people for donations on the phone.  I had contacted the Illinois State Police awhile back, concerning a call I got from someone claiming to represent the ISP.  He emailed me back stating that they do not do this sort of campaigning for money.  So, don't be fooled.  This is a contractor hired to make calls to get you to part with your money, so that they can pocket 80% of it, and only give 20% to the actual charity.

Your right they dont call, its illegal for an officer to call you. If you think about it 20% to the charity isnt bad considering all they do is sit back and get 20% of whatever is collected and have to do nothing. None of you guys ever consider how much administrative costs there are.

You are Poodle, just loose your home phone....lol

Continue to call don't leave message.  Collecting money for an organization that is not legitimate.

They call and hang up. When you try to call them back the line is busy. My caller Id shows the call is from arlington hts. Illinois.  Have no idea who this is from, or what the location really is.

Rather than get any more calls from them, I just blocked that phone number. You must have this feature on your phone and with your phone provider.
