NRA telephone request questions

[cotntop]

Had a gentleman call trying to solicit funds for NRA. I told him that about signing up grand kids for life membership and was a little strapped for cash. Then suggested that he send me the info and i would see just what i could do, he was not interested in this idea. Could this possibly be a scammer?

Re: NRA scam?

No but he was probably working on commission, not a salaried staffer. He only gets credit for the sale if you agree on the phone. This is a common way fund raising organizations work.

I'm a life member, but they still hound me for donations, just like they do all other members.
IMHO if the solicitors called non members and asked them to join, time would be better served. LDS

You can request the NRA to put you on their "Do Not Call" List. As a Life Member, I recognize their need for funds and I give them money when I can, but on my terms...

Ask 'em for a list of the upper echelon of salaries.....and they'll send you a 'pie chart'!!

Those boys make some REAL $$$$$!!

You'd probably have to file a FOIA paper and go through their staff of attorney's in NYC to get any legit info regarding this issue!

I have been a life member since '94 and have not been bothered at all with mailings or calls.
I requested to be on the 'do not solicit' list and within a month or two it all stopped coming.

I do get some email, but I sort of signed up for those I believe.
