Telemarketers

Today I received a toll-free call from 866-635-8661. The caller identified herself as being with Citizens United. I told her I haven't worked for a year, and couldn't give her any money. She said that was ok, and just wanted me to listen to their message. After the message, and a little elevator music, I was asked if I could give $100-$200. I then asked them what part of "haven't worked in a year they didn't understand?" After the caller called me "ma'am" twice, I raised my voice, and forcefully asked to be removed. I also called back the 866-635-8661 number and removed myself. I then called the 800-837-5947 number, identified myself as calling for Unemployed Citizens, and asked for a million dollars. I don't think they'll call back.
