Telemarketer
This is All Pro Productions in Marlboro MA.   They're a local fundraiser often hired by various organizations trying to raise money for various police/firefighter causes.  But they're scammy, keeping more money than is donated.  

Read the following on their practices:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fred_Smerlas

"The investigation alleges that All Pro Productions' telemarketers misidentify themselves as police officers and apply pressure tactics to obtain donations. Further, it was noted that the company, on average, keeps 63% of the money donated while only 37% goes to the charities. In a telephone conversation, Smerlas defended his telemarketers saying "they identify themselves", "are monitored", and "read from scripts" although he refused to provide a script. He also claimed that "60% is reasonable" given telemarketing costs"

"From January to June 2010, for example, All Pro collected $49,774 for the Worcester Fire Fighters Memorial Fund by organizing and selling tickets to a comedy show at Mechanic's Hall. Of that sum, only $15,928 actually went to the fund ? less than a third of the total donations, according to a report filed with the public charities division of the state Attorney General's Office.

Just got a hangup call ...

from wikipedia:
An investigation by WCVB-TV's 11-o'clock news, which aired on February 25, 2007 revealed that Smerlas's company All Pro Productions is the leading telemarketer contractor for police, firefighter, and similar agencies in Massachusetts. The investigation alleges that All Pro Productions' telemarketers misidentify themselves as police officers and apply pressure tactics to obtain donations. Further, it was noted that the company, on average, keeps 63% of the money donated while only 37% goes to the charities. In a telephone conversation, Smerlas defended his telemarketers saying "they identify themselves", "are monitored", and "read from scripts" although he refused to provide a script. He also claimed that "60% is reasonable" given telemarketing costs.

These people have been calling.  The caller ID say "Assoc."  No other info.

I never answer a call that I don't know who it is from, and they never leave a message on my answering machine.

I get about 3 calls a day, no message and no one on the other line when I answer.  I called the number back and got an automated message saying "Call Again Later."  These calls started on 12/7/11.

I got a call from the same number which they also appears to be "assc" on my caller id.  They claim they are Marlborough firefighters and they are looking for donation.  I think this maybe a scam because the Marlborough firefighter phone listing is 508-485-2323.  Beware guys!!

Got called last night around 6. They asked for my ex husband who hasnt lived here since Jan 2009. Since I didn't know who they were, I simply said he no longer lives here. They asked if I was Mrs. X and I said, "no I am not - we are divorced." They said "thanks bye." It was a real person, female. The caller I.D. on my phone said "Assoc." Probably trying to make you think it's a charity like the Heart Assn or something. The number 508 is a Massachusetts area code. Southeastern Mass quite a ways from metro Boston. 508-486-4600
