Imagine getting a so‑called veteran charity call right as you’re trying to sleep. That timing alone feels like a red flag, especially when the caller never names a specific organization and keeps calling after you’ve asked to stop. Block the number through your phone or carrier, and add it to the FTC’s Do‑Not‑Call list. Verify any request by contacting the official AMVETS office directly—legitimate groups won’t pressure you for immediate donations. Never share personal or financial details over the phone, and consider using a call‑filtering app to catch spoofed IDs. Stay cautious and protect your inbox and wallet.

Despite requesting that they stop calling, the calls continue, and it has become harassing, especially since they called my home at 9AM, disrupting my rest
