Subject: VFW Telemarketing Scam

I have received word that a telemarketer is soliciting funds on behalf of the VFW Department Headquarters.

There are only 2 telemarketers authorized to solicit funds on our behalf in New Mexico and they DO NOT call any members of our Department!

The 2 authorized solicitors are MDS Communications; solicitors for National HQ's and iMarketing Acquisitions, LLC; (formerly XENTEL) solicitors for Department HQ's.

If you get a telemarketer call from anyone besides the 2 solicitors mentioned above, please get as much information as possible; i.e. time & date of call, phone number/caller id, name of caller/organization and the amount of money they are asking for; try and get them to send you some type of paperwork or even try to get an address to send them a check (of course you wouldn't do that!), also I will need to know if your phone number is registered on the National Do Not Call Registry.

Register your phone numbers at www.donotcall.gov

I have filed a complaint with the FTC, and the items above are the type of things they want to know.

Hopefully with your help, we can catch these crooks.
