Geniuses out there behold there is no do not call list!! You will get called no mater what and until you answer the phone you shall receive calls. With that said the people that don't give are not called again only if you are rude and ignorant you may be called more. If you do give your going to get called next year because after you give once you most likely will again and for the record none of the police you people give to are real police they are hired companys cops can't call!!! And the people saying thry get early and late calls are being untruthful phones do not run  that late or early. So check your info

Survey
Finally picked up this robocall that says it's an 'important health survey'. They call incessantly, but never leave a message. I recently blocked another number from this area, another robocall so-called 'survey'. I definitely DO NOT want to give this company any info. I DON'T trust it. I also have a 'collector' sending correspondence to me for some debt they can never supply documentation for, or even tell me WHAT it is. I imagine it's those people (slash scam artists).

I recently opened a new SEARS CREDIT CARD ACCT through CITIBANK.  Been getting SPAM calls for over 4 years, but since opening this account they have INCREASED EXPONENTIALLY.  This Tuesday I got 4 calls, Wednesday 2 and this past Sunday got 4 as well.  ON A SUNDAY!

Wednesday I called CITIBANK/SEARS and gave them 'what for'.  Told them I was getting ready to put in complaints with the FTC AND FCC against them.  They were actually very meek and apologetic (they certainly didn't DENY that they were behind these calls) and the rep 'set my privacy settings' to as STRINGENT as possible.  Funny, I THOUGHT I did that with another rep just about 5-6 weeks ago!

THEN, Guess What?  Yesterday - THURSDAY - I got NO CALLS!   FIRST TIME this has happened IN MONTHS.  The day after I THREATENED CITIBANK that I was thinking of FILING CHARGES WITH THE FCC and FTC AGAINST THEM, specifically.  Guess I should have done this MONTHS ago.

SO, if you have ANY CREDIT RELATIONSHIP with SEARS or CITIBANK, maybe you should call them and DEMAND they set YOUR PRIVACY settings to as PRIVATE as possible, and see if it makes any difference.

But then TODAY (Friday) I called to activate a new VISA ATM card that came in the mail this week; within TEN MINUTES I got another one of these calls, this time "Florida" from 940-777-3571, although they left no msg this time, WHICH IS A VIOLATION OF FCC LAW.   Coincidence?  I HIGHLY DOUBT IT.  Time to call up THAT bank and THREATEN THEM with a complaint filed with the FCC and FTC.

I'm wondering if they SELL or GIVE our credit info and PHONE NUMBERS to these b*****ds in their call centers overseas just to see if they can't get EXTRA charges put on our accounts - and make money off us FRAUDULENTLY.  There HAS to be SOME BIG BUSINESS BEHIND this for this to be SO PREVALENT and WIDESPREAD.  SOMEONE IN AMERICA IS GETTING RICH OFF THESE CALLS, or else our politicians would have put a stop to this by now.

This number called AGAIN yesterday 7/19 at 3:30PM and then at 9:45AM TODAY and AWOKE a person who is battling a TERMINAL DISEASE and who also suffers from insomnia.  WTF????

It went to ans. machine today and AGAIN left NO MSG which is ILLEGAL by FCC LAW.

Yesterday it did leave a message, but DOES NOT ID ITSELF, only says to press one to answer questions about an issue that "affects your life."  I would not ANSWER a call from someone I do not know, LET ALONE answer PERSONAL QUESTIONS from an UNIDENTIFIED STRANGER!!!

HERE's an "ANSWER" for you, SURVEYERS:  Our HEALTH would be BETTER is you'd LEAVE US ALONE and NOT BOTHER us in OUR OWN HOME, on PHONES **WE** PAY FOR (NOT YOU!) and let us GET THE SLEEP WE SO DESPERATELY NEED.

This number called BOTH of our landlines (one a home business) within 9 (NINE) MINUTES of each other today, a SUNDAY, which shows they are just ROBODIALING, trolling for ANY SUCKER who will be dumb enough to answer and unknown number in this day and age.

Caller ID said "HEALTH SURVEY".  TRUE, REAL surveys are exempt from the DoNotCall Laws.  BUT those usually do not call on SUNDAYS.

The first one I let go to the answering machine, on the CHANCE it was our health care plan which calls ocassionally to check how we are doing and how we feel about our health insurance.  However, NO MESSAGE LEFT.  The second time, I picked up/hung up immediately to break the call and prevent the machine from picking up.

WHY is the very same number listed by different victims as "MAFOP" and "Debt Collector" and other, unknown things?  THAT'S A SIGN IT IS NOT LEGIT - OR its a FOR-PROFIT TELEMARKETING COMPANY which is VIOLATING the DoNotCall LAWS.  ALSO, CALLING ON SUNDAY is a sign IT IS NOT LEGIT.

SOMEONE NEEDS TO SHUT THESE A$$HIOLES DOWN.

I will be making TWO complaints to the DoNotCallList for these calls.

These clowns some how get by the telemarketing "do not call" listing for some reason. i googled MAFOP and was surprised to find several sites with complaints about them. Maybe the BBB can do some thing. They call at all hours, early morning 8:30 today 2/14/09 and around 9pm a couple nights ago. They have called probably 10-12 times. They will not leave a message. They SUCK!!!

They continue to call despite request to take off list.  They have even stooped to using * number to disquise MAFOP caller ID.  They wont say a word when I answer (husband) because I have already berated them.  When my wife answers private caller and it is them, they act as though she is an old friend.  She has also requested that we not be called back again to no avail.  They have called numerous times since then.  By disquising their number, they almost guarantee that we answer the phone- we have several sick relatives and all of their numbers are private so we have no alternative but to answer.  I have filed complaint with BBB and will eventually track them down at Paetec in Boston if necessary, to harrass them.

This is the Mass Fraternal Order of Police. They call me several times a day, often before 9am on weekends, and they even called me the morning of Easter Sunday. Abusive and you can't find an address to write to them to get off their list.

I just got the third call today from this number which does come up in caller ID as MAFOP.  I learned from previous experience not to answer this call and they can call until the cows come home (never) and I refuse to answer.  I also made the mistake of once donating to them and yes, they have be especially persistant and I will never donate to them again.  I cannot afford, in this economy, to even donate to the causes I ordinarily would give to and I am surely not giving MAFOP anything.

Called at 6:30pm EST yesterday (6-Jan-09).  Didn't leave a message.  So far it's only the first call from this number I'm aware of, but in light of other reports about this number I'd like to put a stop to it before it starts.

this number "781-884-2843" is from MAFOP which is suppose to be donations to some police fund, which by the way, is not tax deductible.  They call at all hours starting early in the morning until after 9 pm.  They are rude and abrasive.  When they call, if my daughter tells them I am not home they attept to solicit donations from her.  Other times they just hang up when told i am not at home.  They should be investigated because I really believe they are a pretty shady bunch.

caller id - Braintree, MA 781-884-2843. Upon further research, this is the alternate number for MAFOP (Massachusetts Fraternal Order Of Police). They are 'soliciting donations for their organization. Amazingly enough they are using telemarketing tactics, and often will not take 'No' for an answer. One of their operators told me that he was a MA State Trooper, and because of that, the organization was 'exempt' from the DoNotCall List.

All charities are exempt from the Do Not Call list.

This "charity" is MAFOP.  They call constantly.  I made the mistake of donating to them once because they led me to believe they were my local town police looking for a donation, which I do contribute to once a year, but then I got the bill in the mail and apparently 85% of this "charity's" collected funds go to administrative costs.  Sounds more like a FOR PROFIT racket to me, I will never answer their calls again.  But they will hound you and there is nothing you can do about it.  Currently they call about 2 or 3 times a day and have done so for about a week and a half.  For a while they go away, but I know from experience they will be back.

I activated my telephone carrier's "selective call block" feature, entered their phone number, and the constant calls from their number/MAFOP and interestingly enough even the ones that came up as "UNKNOWN" have stopped!!  The offending caller is supposed to just get a polite message that says I am not accepting calls at this time, or something to that effect.

Called at 8:00am EST and 4:45pm today (6/11/09). When I picked up no answered phone. I gave a donation to MAFOP last year. Looks like they are after people who gave donations in the past. These calls are annoying as the caller id shows up "Unavailable" or "Unknown". You can't tell whether you have genuine call or someone calling for donations.

I've also heard of GAFOP, which they say is probably a fundraiser. I heard that they might be fake, and it was alos said that it's actually GA FOP, which GA is porbably Georgia, and MA FOP is most likely Massachusetts. So, Im guessing FOP must stand for something or the organization.

These people are calling every single day, either at 8:30 AM , 1:00 PM and, also between 8-9 PM. My husband has asked them to stop calling, but they don't stop. Sometimes, we pick up, and no one answers. It's very annoying.

Same MO as others reported.  Sometimes there's no caller ID.  Once, I picked up, there was no one on the other end, at first.  I hang up if this happens now.  They obviously have an auto-dialer.
