Very high=pressure tactic. Woman called from (561) 296-1952, calling on behalf of "Palm Bch County Sheriff's Benevolence" re "gang-related crimes in area". Wanted a $15.00 donation & then handed phone to "Natasha" - to verify address. She wanted to send an "envelope' for donation. Questioned both women for their address - given 1509 N. Lake Worth Rd in zip code area 33467, which is in Lake Worth! (not Boca Raton, Boynton Beach, or Delray Beach as listed below). Also mentioned the "Do-Not-Call List" and declined to commit to sending a donation at this time. Then checked out the number on this site. Enuff said. . .

Police Benevolent Association is not a "charitable" organization. They are the UNION for
the Police in Palm Beach County. If you are donating to them, stop being foolish you are
paying their dues and the elected officers of the union.
They also solicit for "Cops for Kids" if the cops want to do this they should do it on their dime,
NOT yours..

5612961948 does the same. They ask for PBA donation but refuse to send mailed request. If it is not a scam I would be shocked. The PBA should be notified about their abuse of the system.

I am going to report this as harassment. Some people do not have anything extra these days.

THAT is the PBA's yellowpages listing - this number is not on it
If you REALLY want to make a donation to the REAL PBA for the county, do it through their website

They keep calling asking for the person that used to have this number I keep telling them they have the wrong number and to remove this number from their list. They just start talking over me and move right into their shpeel about sending us a donation envelope. 1) If you want a donation from someone, DO NOT cut them off and start talking over them .. rudeness gets you nowhere 2) Stop preying on innocent people to scam them out of money as this *IS* a scam

Wow, so this number has been evildoing since 2008??? Here it is March 10, 2012 and they are still at it! Just got a call moments ago. Years ago I got a call from Police Benov Assoc asking for money and when I replied that I had just donated days prior, the rude prick on the other end of the phone screamed at me "but did you get a decal? (for your car) Did you? Did YOU?!? HUH? WHAT COLOR IS IT??? OURS ARE BLUE! YOU DID NOT DONATE TO US!!!!" The telemarketer went totally schizoballistic on me. I hung up (this was the first time I had ever hung up on anyone in my life). I was left shaken and confused and very rattled for the rest of the day. I mean this psycho had my name and phone number, what else did he have? I vowed right then and there to never EVER give to any organization with "police" or "benevolent" in their name ever again. I NEVER have and I NEVER will. And I tell everybody I know. Please pass my story on and help put these dirtbags out of business FOR GOOD!

Number is still in business as of 02/25/2012. So-Called "Police Benevolent A**."
You'd think the West Palm Beach Police Dept. would get sick and tired of their department being scammed and would at least look this guy up and tune him in. But maybe they get a cut, that's what it looks like to the public. Another active number (same guy) is 561-296-1949. Read and Heed.

wow, thanks , now it makes more sense...I could not figure out why a solicitor would bother to call , and then just " say sorry wrong number" and hang up, and repeatedly, at that. I've been getting these calls from multiple numbers all affiliated with one another. 561-296-1947, 561-296-0460, and 561-296-1969. They trace to a 704A postal code. and all the same location.

Yep - I got a phone call from these dopes as well. They couldn't even pronounce my last name correctly! Then the gal asked if I speak English!!
Strange brew.

Received call today at 11:00hrs. Thanks to this website I now know who it is since the only ID is West Palm Beach FL. I do not answer call from numbers I do not recognize. Thanks to all that have posted here
| William 2011-08-01 15:06:35 Unknown |
Mised call and got a busy signel whem I called back.
| shell 2011-06-06 20:51:32 Unknown |
They called this morning and hung up when I picked up the phone. Makes sense that it is the Boca area PBA as stated in other comments, as I have been solicited by them before. Thanks to those of you who *69 'd the number so we are all better informed. Eventually telephone solicitation will be brought down by everyone working together through reporting websites!
| Kawen 2011-06-06 20:51:32 Unknown |
I received a call this morning from them. This is a great site to find out unrecognizable numbers. I see that the last post was in 2008. Well, they called today me so look out for this number calling you too.
| Chuckster 2011-06-06 20:51:32 Unknown |
A firm supposedly hawking for the Police Benevolance Association, but in reality probably taking 95 cents on every dollar. Here's what you do if you want to have fun...keep calling the number until you get through, it won't ring, you'll hear a dialer then say hello. The sollicitor will ask for a person, then start screwing with them. when they hang up, stay on the line and it will start dialing again, repeat hello process and pranking again, repeat again and again...
I just kept the poor slob in this loop for 15 minutes with obnoxious sounds and my kids tormenting him. That's what he gets for telemarketing us on April Fool's Day :-)

I believe you have to do the "Do Not Call" registry every 5 years.
We recently unplugged all our landline phones and use that for internet only. This number is one that would call us very frequently. As someone else said, they are considered a charity and are not required to adhere to the DNC registry anyway.
I sure hope these people and all the other charity wannabes that used to try to sell us everything under the sun or ask us for a "small donation" are having fun listening to nothing but ringing when they call!!
| Andrea 2011-06-06 20:51:32 Unknown |
What happeneed to the Do Not Call Regestry. I want the calls to stop
| ron 2011-06-06 20:51:32 Unknown |

Tried to call back the # is always busy.
| stu 2011-06-06 20:51:32 Unknown |
they constantly call day and night...rude as can be .....these people need to be stopped. How do you go about reporting this to someone who can make them stop these harrassing calls.
