I blocked this number. The caller is either “fishing”(sic) for a donation or it’s a potential scam.

Don’t EVER agree to give money or bank/credit card details over the phone unless you are 100% sure of the authenticity of the party on the other end of the call, and then ONLY when you initiate the call.
