Phone: *rings*
Me: Hello?
Phone: *call center background noise*
Woman: Hi, I'm calling to speak to Scott.
Me: May I ask who's calling?
Woman: (Name).
Me: ...with...?
Woman: Medallion.
Me: ...about...?
Woman: A fundraising call for a charity he's supported in the past.
Me: *debates asking which charity, decides this conversation is seriously stupid* I'll see if he's available.

I go upstairs, talk to Scott (who is watching a Very Fussy Drew). He thinks it's probably Special Olympics and isn't interested. No idea if that was influenced by his wife's decidedly grouchy mood about this caller.

So I came back and told her he wasn't interested and she said thanks and got off the phone.

Decidedly odd and annoying, and I suspect not true. That is, the phrasing "for a charity he's supported in the past" instead of naming the charity sounds like a company trying to circumvent the do not call list....
