Scam calls pretending to be VFW donations – how to stop them!
Summary — +13174938051
Expert Opinion
Ever wonder why that unknown Indiana number hangs up as soon as you answer? The pattern points to a low‑effort scam that drops the call after a brief greeting or background noise, often masquerading as a charity, VFW, or state‑trooper fundraiser. These silent or cut‑off calls rarely leave voicemails and rely on curiosity to extract personal info. Block the number immediately, add it to your carrier’s spam list, and consider filing a report with the FTC or local consumer agency. Don’t share credit‑card details or personal data, and let the call go to voicemail before deciding to engage.
