I get the call from FL FOP FNDN  786-358-5581

I have received calls several times from this FL FOP FOUND. (789-522-5607).  I simply DO NOT answer the call.

My comment is that is is nothing more then a SCAM

786-522-5607  Male voice identified himself as from the FOP, then chuckled and said, "Don't worry, you're not in trouble."  Then said something about raising money for sea turtles(?).  I said I was too busy to talk to him,  He said he'd call back at another time.  I told him NOT to call me.  This is the second call in a week, but the first one didn't say anything about sea turtles, just that he was raising money for the FOP.

Calls from this number show up frequently on my caller ID.  What a great service caller ID is!  I never answer because I assume it's some kind of fund raising scam.  From the comments I see here I believe my decision to ignore these calls is the right one.

I'm getting tired of these phony phone calls pretending to be cops. Cops don't try and scam people like these SCAM ARTISTS who keep calling our numbers.It's a shame the phone company won't step up and do something about this. Why do people bother paying for having private number and no-call numbers if the useless phone company wont step up and do their jobs.

I have many relatives who are in different agencies of police, such as sheriff, state police.......any time someone calls u and says they are from a police agency, be it a FOP or anything else is a scam. If they are true, they will send u a letter in the mail..... ( and for you mike dated oct 8th) THEY DO NOT SOLICIT BY PHONE, CALL YOUR LOCAL POLICE AND THEY WILL TELL U THE SAME THING. ! ! ! !

Some guy hung up on me when I asked "who's calling?" after he asked for "the lady of the house" ... I traced it back to the fraternal order of police!  Great marketing, huh?

What is your business please?  Your calling for Children then?  Is That Right?

I just received a call from 1-800-766-3227.  I might suggest that you call them and seewhat it is that they are up to.  Thank you and have a nice day.

Stupid Cops !!!   Leave me alone !

FL FOP Foundation

Didn't answer.  Little, if any, money goes to police.  Don't be intimidated by word "police."

Memorial Foundation...FOP

I have received calls from this organization DAILY for the last 3 weeks.  Anytime my answering machine gets the call, they hang up.  Today I answered in person, and they asked for a person who has never had my number, then refused to talk to me when I told them I was not them.  Now, I am a sensible and intelligent person, but ultimately, I have had it with this organization.  If they are legitimate, which I doubt more and more, then they need to abide by the same rules as anyone else, which is to respect our privacy in matters of solicitation.  If we tell them to stop bothering us, then they need to.  Failure to stop such actions, REGARDLESS of the nature of their cause, could only be construed as malicious mischief, or given the nature of their calls to get money from folks, could even be construed as a criminal conspiracy to commit acts of fraud or extortion.  For a group of folks who 'claim' to be working to help the police, that would be....embarrassing to say the least, eh?

I have been getting calls from this number everyday since the new year started.  If this is a legimate foundation they should be leaving a message, not call 500 times a DAY.  They leave no message for you to call back and when you do the number is always busy.  Reading these blogs, I noticed that a few stated that they were police officers.....Ok if this is true what is your badge number, name, and pretinct, I would love to discuss these calls in more detailed.  If your stating this is truly a foundation raising money for the fallen heros, they there should be no reason why your people cannot leave a message.  This is not only a SCAM, but this is harrassment.  There is a reason why people pay extra to be unlisted.

I received a call from someone identifying himself as from the FOP, Miami,
786-358-5573.  I identified myself as a law enforcement officer (cop), yet he contined to go through his spiel.  
Very little of the funds they raise go for good causes.  What the solicitor doesn't take, goes largely to the officers of the FOP in the form of salaries, bonuses and perks. Don't get me wrong.  They do good things, with what little is left of the pot after they get their share.  My suggestion, like many, many others have said, is to NOT give them anything.  They are white collar beggars, givig you the guilt trip.

I am also inclined to believe they are keeping MOST of the money they raise. I first got a call from them and they were soliciting donations for Navy Veterans. I support our armed forces and public servants (Police/Fire Fighters) and would certainly donate to a true charitable org (if/when I could afford to but not at this time) that actually gives the bulk to the charity they say they are collecting for..but these folks are constantly calling from different offices. Just working from a phone room (I have myself) and hire off the street who can read the scripted spiel. Most of the people probably even believe they are doing something good and getting paid for it. Even telling them to take you off their lists do not help. I wish I could just block them. :( Best that can be done is to not answer the phone.

I have received these same telephone calls for as a recruiting mechanism.  I would suggest you contact  the ww w.mod.uk and tell them what you think of the big oil spill in the Gulf or that while oil prices per barrel drop we have terroist gas station owners who will not reduce the proce of gaoline.  I can leak all kinds of infomration for you to take your retribution out on but I prefer to have the telephone calls stop here.

If I get another call I will give you Saudi Intelligence web site and many places in Afrika that are hot hot stops rigth now.

Let my telephone ring on more time and I will bleed such information that all of you will be able to over thrown many countries.

I am not to be recruited.  I was before recruitment began. This is a stupid democratic ploy to bring dumb people along.

One more call and I will tell you things and ways to bring down this and other governments so fast your head will spin.  Definetly get Saudi Intelligence.  It is worth it especiallt since the POTUS is in their pockets.  Kuwait has the money from Iraq and it is going through South Korea to all end up in the Oprah Winfrenies pocket while others starve and are homeless.

Really let my telephone ring one more time.  I'll make certain Suadi Arabia packs up and moves back to the desert.  They mostly live here and I can tell you exactly where they live.  They are Red Soxes fans and they love the IVY League.  We get rid of Saudi Arabia we take back our country and no one calls us any more.  They are all around us prentending to be Spainish and living in that District with Barrrack!  He might be the choosen one but he wasn't chose to be president he was just chose to be by his Mother.  And this guy has failed to live up to his name.  Oprah probably set him up just like she set up the crash of wall street by telling everyone to get out of the market.  Oprah isn't a financial analyst and isn't qualified to make such statements but she is qualified to go to jail for saying such things on live television.  She has broken the law and that is why Barrack is so interested in changing it so quickly to prevent her from being prosecuted.  It is illegal to give out financial advice without making disclosures of financial interests of friends , yourslef , clinets and without a liscence from the SEC to do so.

Kill the IVy LEAGUE and purge America of SAUDI ARABIA AND IRAN!!!!

You are being recruited for War.  You would think black recruits would be on the rise since they hold the White House but they aren't and the war still rages on in Iraq.  Obama still needs recruits.  You are it.

It was a mistake to call me.  I belong to another organization and I don't meet recruiting specifications.  Just another blunder by a wasteful government that is too big too be functional.

Like I wrote before.  Let England know what you think about $3 a gallon oil from British Pertroleum that is spilling carcinogens into the Gulf of Mexico and that will cause epidenic cases of Cancer.  They can be reached at ww w.mod.uk.  Wasteful Greedy Europeans will ruin us all.  They should fight their own wars and leave us alone.

But your calls are your recruitment to fight in the middle east by Obama to spare the IVY LEAGUE their duties.  You can lety Obama know what you think about that at www. white house.gov   Hiliary is at State and this is her trick so you can also let her know you will not be up to the fight as well at w w w . state.gov.  I would let Hilary know just how hard you will bring the fight to her on a personla level if you are recruited for war.

The thing is if Washington DC isn't willing to get out there and fight the middle eastern war then why should we?  They have all the money.  The power that would be lost would be theirs.  We have nothing not even healthcare here.  Every value our society has had has been stripped away.  What is there to fight for anymore?  Oprah not paying her tax bill or Ted Turner for that fact.

Everyone and I mean everyone knows Osama Bin Laden is in Saudi Arabia and does Saudi Arabia trun him over?  No but they still want to live here.

Why be recruited to fight for someone else's wealth and power and you give your life?  Our way of lives has been sold out by Barack Obama when he got his presidential funding from OPEC.  What is there left to fight over?

If you have been a government employee I emplore you to tell all your secrets openly so the government stops recruiting you.

For me,  I was never suppose to be on the list.  I frequently shut lists like this down.

Take yourself off the list and don't fight the war in the middle east be a passivist.  Besides Canada will kill you for even thinking about it.  They are the spies of the middle east.  We get rid of them and maybe soemday there really can be gas at a decent price.

Obama wants to kill white people.  He is a racists!!

It is possible this is an organized network comprised of those who may be approaching unsuspecting victims with criminal intent and demand, harass and extort money.

Going under various names, they claim to function in a variety of roles (selling debt relief and debt assistance, debt collection agency, debt consolidation, loan assistance, even the police. (Is impersonating the police not a serious crime? Or is it a new type of fraudulent business, vehicle to exploit victims ... and merely an insult to the police force.?

It seems that the company PORTFOLIO RECOVERY ASSOCIATES uses various names including:

FL FOP FNDN (inappropriately using the name Fraternal Order of Police)

ANCHOR RECEIVABLES

DEBT GONE WCA

It appears PORTFOLIO RECOVERY ASSOCIATES may be the parent company and is based in Norfolk, VA and the calls are placed from many numbers to unsuspecting victims throughout the country.

You may be eligible for reimbursement and damages for any harm to you. Contact the appropriate agencies to report them and for assistance so you can get what is coming to you ... and your tormentors get what is coming to them:

1. The state attorney general offices in Virginia, Florida and Missouri and others no doubt have found the company guilty and/or are in the process of building a case and prosecuting. The authorities are waiting for all input from you and you may be eligible for reimbursement for payment extorted from you, pain and suffering.

2. If you are already on or place yourself on the Do Not Call List you may be due monies as a result of this harassment.

The level of harassment perpetrated by this company suggests that there may be an attempt to terrorize and demoralize our nation and research suggests that this company may have interests in gaming, human trafficking and subversive elements and may be funneling money to terrorists.

It appears that the assigned callers approach potential victims fraudulent schemes, and inappropriate requests and demands,  behave in an abusive manner, threaten, harass and attempt to terrorize, calling on a daily basis, every day of the week, from 6 am to 11 pm,  repeatedly over the course of the day, with calls sometimes a moment apart. Once they begin calling the calls continue for years without cease.

Calls are placed to homes, businesses (even physicians), home phones, cell phones, those who are on the national do not call list and have asked them to cease calling, individuals who have never had any debt, who are current in their payments and never missed any payment, those who have successfully paid off a loan, individuals with fully amortized loans and if someone pays them (even if nothing is due and they just want to pay them off to get rid of them) they come back for more! So what does that tell you?

They target the disabled who may even be trapped in a location, those suffering from ailments and who could suffer heart attack or stroke due to stress, people in the process of dying, relatives of people who have died. Some have paid them just to be rid of them and they call again for more.

Reports are made frequently to complain about these companies and yet they continue calling. It would seem that during these difficult times there is good money to be made by terrorizing and harassing susceptible victims into paying a company just to go away.

You guys are full of crap. I got called and one of you flunkies told me they were from PBA Local 152. I asked who the President was... aahh no reply who the State Delegate was... No Reply Vice Pres? So I rambled off who there were as I was a past member of the executive board and knew they were BSing me.
Post a site where you guys show how much money actually goes to the police and families if you git them 60% to 75% of the money then maybe people would donate.

I just Got this call too but the number is 1-786-358-5581 I already support sheriffs office with my tags.
However am not a honary member at this time. But even now Im leary about this website and its legitamacy. I will send a check to the Tampa poice for the families of the officer who just gave their lives. I think thats better They will get it all and I feel I did the right thing.

The number that keeps calling is (786) 358-5573.  Since I have caller ID only and don't recognize the number, I have yet to answer the phone.  I figure, since this FL FOP FNDN has my number, they can also get my email the same way and email me.

Well done.

NEVER EVER give money over the phone ... POLICE WILL NEVER COLD CALL FOR MONEY!!! ITS A SCAM!!!!

ITS A SCAM!!!!!!!!!

What a terrible way of raising money, calling people and saying nothing. Don't these know that if you call someone and say nothing, you are immediately under suspicion of being labeled as a pervert? Of all organizations, the Florida FOP should know that. What a perfect way to make people afraid of them.

FL FOP 786-358-5670. Recived a call but no answer. Sounds like a scam.

picked up, and no answer. Has any one or this Website ever found out who they are?
