704-248-9016

Got a call from 704-248-9016.  No name on caller ID but the location listed was Charlotte, NC.  No message was left.

Got a call from 704-248-9016 several times and they hang up when phone is answered....no message left when we weren't here to pick up. Called the number back and it appears to be a fax line.

Got a call from 704-248-9016; rang several times then hung up when I answered.  Called back and number was busy.

I got calls from this number (home office and home) and it freaked me out.  From my searches on the internet, I found out it was Charlotte Firefighters asking for a donation.

If you would like your number removed from the calling list e-mail your number to firecorob@aol.com or call 704-331-9075

Yeah, they just called me.  Looks like they are one of these "non profits" that raise money for a good cause, but spend the vast majority of funds on their own fundraising organization.  If you want to donate to the firefighters, just give them a call - that way all your money goes to the firefighters, and doesn't support some telemarketeers that try to call everybody in Charlotte every week.  If you send these guys money, you're giving them the means to call more people more often.  And they'll be calling you back plenty as well.

Kept getting these hang up calls - found this website - and just called the 704 331 9075 number and was told they would indeed take my number off the list!  So let's see if that works!!!  Thanks so much to poster who provided the info.  I work at home and this is very disruptive.

Got a call from 7040248-9016 on Sunday afternoon at 5:28pm eastern.  Caller hung up after I picked up after 3 rings. Strange.

Have been receiving calls off and on for over a year. Came to the conclusion that if a man answers the phone he hangs up or will say he dialed the wrong number. What he is after is for a woman to answer because he thinks they are a better touch for a donation to the Firefighter Association, which only gets about 3-5% OF YOUR DONATION. fOR ALL THE HONEST FIREFIGHTER THIS IS A DISGRACE......

I am the Manager for the firefighter's fundraising office and if you like your phone number removed for the calling please call 704-331-9075 or e-mail your request to firecorob@aol.com

Thank you

PS the Charlotte Fire Fighters have a contract that splits the proceeds 50/50 so your firefighters receive 50%

I have been getting calls like this for about five years and finally decided to *69 it.  Really wish I would have done this sooner.  Just called 704 331 9075 and left a message.  Wow, I used to donate to the these kind of organizations!

They may have a contract that splits the money 50/50, but if you donate straight to the department they get 100% of the donation.

Spread the word --
The so called "non-profit" organization is REAL SCAM
Firefighters do not get even peanuts of your donation.
That why scammers attack you so vigorously, week by week,
month by month.
If you donate once, they start calling much more often!

It should be illegal.
Donate to REAL firefighters, not to financial jesuites!

Definitely call the number posted by another writer; they say they WILL take your name off their list.  We'll see!

received a call from 704-248-9016 hang up   ... no msg left

After many repeated hang-ups from this number I called the number above for the management of the company.  They are indeed a fundraising company for the fire department (I have no idea of the split) but the person I spoke with was very professional.  She apologized and removed my number from the list.  I will repost if this doesn't stop the calls.

What we each need to do is file an informal complaint with the FCC.  Simply provide the following inforamtion in writing the the following address.  REQUIRED INFO:  Your name, address, phone, day phone, details of the issue, and any information you have about the person/group who called.  MAIL TO:  Federal Communications Commission, Consumer & Government Affairs Bureau, Consumer Inquiry & Complaint Division, 445 12th Street SW, Washington DC 20554.

If you would like your number removed from our calling list please call 704-331-9075 or e-mail you number to firecorob@aol.com
