Today I got a call from 033-6600-0200. The caller associated himself with Unicef and requested to make monthly donation for helping children under a campaign 'Guardian of hope'. I was bit suprised as I never heard of Unicef doing telemarketting to raise fund, but, I continued the conversation. I thought to get more information about it and gave an appointment on coming satureday. Their executive is suppose to come at my home to collect cheque and get some forms sighned. Once the call was over, I called up the UNICEF office in Kolkata. They said they are not aware of any such initiative where their executives go to collect cheque. They requested not to entertain these guys. Now, what you think I should do? Call the executive at my home and hand him over to police or just ask them not to disturb me. I am worried because these guys are taking funds which could help the needy children otherwise. Again, I feel pity about these executive guys. Probably they dont even know they are working for a fake Unicef. Many of you donate for different purposes as you did in case of Uttarakhand flood. So be careful while donating your hard-earned money to someone not so credible.
BTW, can anyone check the number 033-66000200...I tried BSNL directory but it is not working.
