I just got a call ostensibly from the NRA offering me an upgrade for a massively reduced price.
I would only have to pay $250 of a normal $1000 to upgrade from life to endowment member.
I said sure, send me the paperwork, and she verified my address.
She then offered to let me use my credit card. No thanks send me the paperwork.
Well, we do take checks over the phone and I can wait while you get your checkbook.
No thanks, send me the paperwork and I will send it in.

Just a heads up they are out there, have a membership list and are trying to scam NRA members.

Might be a dupe but because I am lazy I didn't check.
Just thought others might like a heads up.

Probably not a scam.

I'd never give money to a cold caller.  Could be legit tho... NRA does farm out those membership calls to telemarketing companies.

There's a scam where the NRA (national recovery act) will call you asking to upgrade.

Google the phone number, see what pops up

With all of these threads about how annoying the NRA is, I'm in no rush to become a member at all.

They never call me and I rarely get any mail from them.

Ask to be placed on the "do not promote" list and you will never hear from the NRA.  Of course, it's far easier to bitch about NRA junk mail and membership drive calls.

I've been getting cold calls from the NRA every single day. I have asked to be put on their do not call list but they ignored me. I blocked the number but they began calling on another.

They are the one cold caller I don't mind hearing from. Means they are doing their job since membership should be more like 100 million instead of 5.

Endowment Member here.

I don't doubt your claim but I can't understand the disparity.   I rarely get called or  receive junk mail.  I can't figure out how some members get blasted and other members don't.
