(888) 821-8982 - January 5th, 2011 5:00am
I wouldn't mind so much if they simply were listed on my caller ID or if they would leave a message. I member taking a phone courtesy course way back in grade school circa 1945-50, I have donated before when I did answer the phone, but who can be bothered remembering all of the legit 888 callers.

For those who have received calls from this number and wonder who it is, the listing for this number is United War Veterans Council, 346 Broadway, Suite 807, New York, NY 110013.They called me yes****ay and twice this morning. They **** up when the answering ma****e s****s.They are not listed by the BBB charities check leading me to believe that it is a phony.
(888) 821-8982 - May 26th, 2010 9:13pm
They call every day and they do not leave a message. I could hear someone breathing on the other end of the phone, but yet they did not leave a message. I am on the Do Not Call Registry, so I don't understand how do these calls go through? How do you make them stop???
(888) 821-8982 - August 30th, 2010 4:00am
I keep getting calls from this number, stating they are trying to a location verification. I am not sure what this means. I called them back and it as it is stated above but not sure what they want from me.
(888) 821-8982 - March 16th, 2010 4:00am
It's the United War Veteran's pick up council. I decided to call them and put a stop to the calls. I asked to be put on their do not call list and the operator said she would do that.
(888) 821-8982 - June 12th, 2010 4:00am
They still call me without leaving a message. Finally today, they called a***n at 9:10am so I answered and told them to put me on their do not call list.I will post another follow up if they call anymore.
(888) 821-8982 - March 6th, 2010 3:51pm
This scam telemarketer called at 1:35 pm Sat 03/06/10. Did not leave a message, however when i called back at the above number they announce themselves as United Wars Veterans Pickup Service. This is a scam.
(888) 821-8982 - March 16th, 2010 4:00am
I get several calls a day from this number. I'm on the do not call list so I don't pick up and they don't leave a message. It's harassment for them to repeatedly call people.
