Hang-up after a few seconds with some faint breathing or phone rattling in the background.

I called the number and aoutmated message said it was "Donor Services". Apparently they solicit for charitable organizations, at least according to the message.

Mothers Against Drunk Driving

This phone number was a solicitor for Special Olympics-as of 5/10/2010

called on Sunday at 1355 local time.

Hung up after I answered in 2 rings.

A fake.  I work for Mothers Against Drunk Driving and we've never heard of this firm, even though they claim to speak for us.

Calls multiple times a day. Pause in the line after I answer the phone before somebody speaks. A gentleman with a strong southern accent asked "Is Paul there?" I asked for a last name to no reply. I said "hello?" and he got all snotty "I asked for PAUL", so I replied again, asking for a last name. Second call in a day and lazy/rude behavior - must be a telemarketer. If these people are working some call center soliciting donations for non-profits they need to be fired. Nobody will want to give to these rude individuals and it will damage the reputation of the non-profit.

Today they are claiming to be with the Enlisted Association of the National Guard.  Www.eangus.org is where he told me to look for his website.  I get five of these phone calls a day.  I try to help but it sure does get old after a while.  You just never know if the money ends up in the right hands.

Got a call from a telemarketer (male caller with southern accent), first from an 812 (indiana) area code, then from this number. Soliciting for the national guard, supposedly. Claims that it's a "THANK YOU CALL" so he can get our staff to put the owner on the phone. Such BS, it's solicitation.
