Male called asking for money for veterans. I indicated I was one and asked for details on there name and location. He refused, swore at me and ***g up.

This may or may not be a legitimate charity -- that's up to you to decide -- and I cannot find anything on-line right now to verify this group's legitimacy.  Here's their information:Veterans Services of Illinois for Veterans of Foreign WarsDepartment of Illinois2334 W. Lawrence Ave.Chicago, IL  60625773-728-0121**** TaylorThey also call me every year, but I have no money to give out to anyone.  (I have now told them to remove me from their call list.)  In the past I was told that 100% of every donation goes to "help veterans."  I don't know how they can do this especially given the fact that they have a physical location (rent, etc.) and phone bills.  He claimed they also have volunteers who supposedly (on their own dime) go around and collect the donations (in the form of a check) from people's homes.  Given the price of gas no***ays, I don't know how they can afford to do that either.  One time I called the VFW people in Springfield, Illinois, and one person there said they didn't know anything about this outfit, which also made me su****ious as to their legitimacy.Perhaps the wise thing to do is to support your local VFW organizations directly.

I got a few calls from this number looking for me, but I don't say it's me.  It's the same guy, I recognize his voice, he won't leave a message or anything, He'll say he'll call back.
