Got a call from this number yesterday.  They left a message...prerecorded voice, of course.  Don't remember where they said they were from but the gist of it was if I received a letter from so and so this message was only intended for me; if I didn't, then I had 3 seconds to stop listening to the message...I was like, what the hell???  Bunch of bogus BS.

They call but do not leave messages. Twice this evening. Caller ID said "Unavailable".

My wife answered the phone when 800-254-4168 was on the ID box.  A guy on the phone claims to know me and says he is the chief of police.

Yeah, right.  Somebody report this guy, please.

This is a legitimate call.  I received a call, gave them my credit card number and days later received a letter in the mail with a car decal along with an official letter from the Kansas Association of Chiefs of Police.  If you think this call is a scam, it's not.  Support your law enforcement, proudly and without worries of a scam or theft, I was very relieved after reading the above posts that it wasn't what I feared.

Called our office this morning, I didn't answer the call, figured if it was important, they'd leave a message.  Then I checked here, and my thoughts were confirmed . . .just another telemarketer.

Didn't answer. Never do when its a number I don't know.  They've called here before and told them the same thing. NO NO NO.  Why should I give my hard earned $$$$ to people who don't take the hint and keep calling???  Plus, I need ever $$ I can get with the price's going up!!!!  If they call again, I'm going to put my 3year old on the phone, that should tick them off.

I got a second call from this guy.  I am on the Do Not Call Registry.  Do not give this guy your credit card #.

Got a call along the same lines.  Said his name was Chad Purdy or something similar.  Kind of a jerk.  Hung up when I transferred him to the obnoxious guy in our office.  Heh.

I HATE these bogus police charity calls.  No, I won't donate this year, or any other year!

Called at 12:46pm on December 28 2007 to my lawrence Kansas business. Said his name and that he was with the Kansas Chiefs of Police. When asked who he was with a few times he got mad and asked to speak to the owner. I told him he sounded like a telemarketer and that I wouldnt let him speak with the owner-which made him furious

Called to ask for money. When I said who for it was bogus they hung up. Won't take me off list. Now just calls and lets it ring a few times and hangs up.

Call soliciting money for "chiefs of police" to support amber alert programs. Stated that money was needed for expensive equipment. Pressed caller for what the expensive equipment was, caller then switched to expensive training. This set off my bogus alert.
