678-405-9652

Got a call from this number 2 months ago.  The caller ID says "Pick Up". They said they were a local charity looking for donations.  So the sucker I am, I donated some clothes, etc.  I was told they would leave me a receipt for tax purposes.  Then they called back the night before to make sure I remembered they were coming the next day, and they again told me they would leave a tax receipt.  I put the box of stuff on my front porch.  I did not see them come to pick it up, but I looked for a receipt and there wasn't one!  I was mad, so I tried calling this number back numerous times, no answer.  I also looked up their name on the internet and couldn't find a legit company!  I was scammed.  Don't donate anything to them!!

This company has promised me a receipt since Aug. 8th 2007.  I have yet to receive one for the estimated $500.00 worth of clothing, Language tapes, and kids play sets, and furniture I donated.  I have been calling them but only got an answer one time.  They rest of the times, they call me and say they will e-mail me a receipt.  I have told them I will donate more items IF I receive the receipt.  Hasn't happened yet. I just don't want someone to make a profit by selling my things when I wanted them to go to people who really need them and can't afford them.  I could have a garage sale if I wanted the $.

I keep getting calls from this number with the ID name PICK UP. Noone is ever on the other end and you can never call them back and get an answer. This happens all day and into early evening. It's getting annoying to say the least. I was told that this type of call is to track when you actually pick up your phone. That information is sold to telemarketers so they can call at times that you are more likely to be home and answer. The phone company tells me there is nothing I can do about the calls.

Those of you wanting tax receipts from NSPIRE don't waste your time. They are not a 501(c3) organization. I'm an IRS Enrolled Agent and have checked and they are not.  I've already turned them into IRS and will also be doing so to the State of GA.

Thought you might want to know.

They call my house several times a day where I am homeschooling.  Always says clothing pickup - these are the #'s over the last few days:
678-405-9658
678-405-9637
678-405-9651
678-405-0650
They always hang up on the answering machine, and since I have called ID, I don't answer it.  Don't have time.  I donate clothes to our church's clothes closet.

I received a call from them today. Like a dummy I said sure I would donate some things. They said, that they would pickup on May 14th. And I also think they said they would call before pickup. They already knew my address, which I did not like.

I really don't care about the receipt, but I am concern, what if they want to case your home to see about breaking in.
