Man called and asked how I was doing without introducing himself. I said 'fine' and he asked for my father by first name. When I said he was unavailable and asked to take a message, he said he'd call back later and then asked if I was the Mrs. of the house. When I said no and again offered to take a message he said he'd try again some other time and hung up.

I answered the phone, said hello twice and a guy answered asking for me by first name. I said "who is this"? he said he was with the wisconsin professional police officers, (asking for donations I'm sure) where at this time I immediately hit my no spam phone button which announced that this number does not accept this type of call. They called back the next day.
Police officers, breaking the telecom law. Go figure.
Why don't they go out and write some speeding tickets to make their money.

Caller ID says:

I answered and a man (unfamiliar to me) asked for me by my first name, I said that he (me) wasn't home right now, and asked to take a message, but the man said he would try back later and hung up.  I have no debts, so I know it's not a debt collector, so it must be a telemarketer for a non-profit (since they can still call even though my number is on Do-Not-Call list).
