When a woman named Helen claimed I had donated to the Salvation Army and thanked me, the line suddenly dropped, saving me from a likely charity scam; it only reconnected now. Given earlier notes on this number, that disconnection probably prevented fraud. Are charities becoming scammers now? What a world—yikes! – GS

Expert Opinion
Heads up: calls from +16138450938 often masquerade as charitable donations, leaving you with an auto‑attendant or silent line. Scam callers exploit goodwill by citing groups like Earth Rangers or the Salvation Army to pressure you for money. Verify any donation request directly with the organization’s official channels before giving any funds. Use your phone’s block feature or register the number with a do‑not‑call list to stop repeat attempts. Keep personal and financial details private, and report suspicious activity to the FTC or your carrier. Staying cautious protects both your wallet and trust in real charities.
