If you REALLY ARE who you say you are, then GET A REAL JOB and STOP bothering/harrassing us on the phone!

The person claimed to be Drew Brees calling for the Professional Firefighters Association and wasn't asking for a donation. I told him I didn't believe he was Drew Brees and hung up.

An annoying caller who can not be identified.  What do they have to hide?!

I received call, thought it was suspicious.  Asked to have information sent to me by mail.  I received an actual ticket.  When visiting the website of the event center where this event is said to be held, there is no such event on the calendar.  So glad I did not send them any money.

Someone from this number calls at least once a week.  Never leaves a message.

The Professional Fire Fighters Association (PFFALA) is conducting a fundraiser by phone. The fundraiser involves selling tickets for benefit concerts hosted by the PFFALA. The first show will take place May 4th, 2013 at the Pete Maravich Center on LSU Campus. These concerts will offer quality entertainment, available at a reasonable price and provide our supporters a fun night out for the whole family. The information confirming the concert can be viewed on the Pete Maravich website itself at: www.maravichcenter.com (then clicking the ?Event Calendar? in the upper left of the page)

As far as the above post, the facts speak for themselves. Our fundraiser is new and the public is just starting to become aware of it.

We also realize and resepct that some people would prefer not to be called, even for a good cause. We maintain an internal do not call list. But Kathy's comment are made without checking facts. A person  anonymously "yelling" in UPPER CASE LETTERS does not make something true.  If there are more doubts or concerns please feel to visit our office at 200 Corporate Blvd in Baton Rouge, we welcome the public. The office number is 225-360-3380.

SCAM!!!!!   This is a fraudulent company. They claim to be with the Professional Firefighters Association of Louisiana, but they are not associated with any firefighters. They are soliciting for funds for a concert that does not exist. Do not give them any money. If you try to call the phone number back, it will not go through. I tried to bait the criminal to call me back so I could have a detective on the phone to trace it, but he never called back.
DO NOT GIVE THEM MONEY!!!!

prerecorded msg. said" this is mr. rice....your account... please return call....

Did not answer, and Caller ID displayed Baton Rouge only; call on 12/20/12 at around 1:13 PM CST.

He's just part of an insane group of people that steal money from people. Let's just call the group, Rachel.

When my answering machine picked up, the caller .groaned loudly, "AARGH!"  I thought it was an obscene caller. My internet research identifies the call as coming from the Professional Firefighter's Association.

unsolicited phone call

Number was linked to Our Lady of The Lakes Regional Medical Center. Seems like outgoing line only. So many phone lines there, don't know which section.

Recieved call from this number,  asked for person not at this number. Asked if they would like to leave message, they hung up.  Very rude and disrespectful.

Caller was very rude,  asked for person not at number. Hung up.

Got a call from this no Nov 27.2012. Said nothing when I answered, then they hung up
