Stated he was calling from the Florida State Troopers raising money. I have already asked them to take our number out of their data base. Going to file complaint with FCC, now.

When I answered the call, it was pause, click-click, pause,...dial tone. roughly 30 seconds of my life I'll never get back. AARGH.

Identified himself as a Florida State trooper raising money and then he said i'm sorry i have to go.

Do not answer calls you don't know.....they can take your number and use it for long distance calls( not sure how it works, but do not answer a call you don't know)....if it is important they will leave a msg....good luck everyone, and be safe....do NOT call it back

Report them especially if you are on the do not call list!!! It is the only way to get these idiots to stop. If enough people report the same number they will be looked at. Always tell them to take your name off all of their call lists and tell them you are on the do not call list. Also mention you will report them if they do it again. PDS does the same thing.

Same here as w/many of the other posters -- when I answered the call, it was pause, click-click, pause,...dial tone. Roughly 30 seconds of my life I'll never get back. AARGH.

They just call and when you say hello twice there is no reply we hung up

i just received a call from 850-338-8716 and they hung up. what nerve..

Asking for donations

Received a call from 1-850-338-8716.  Caller ID showed PanamaCity FL  I could tell they were asking for money.  I said I was in the middle of dinner (8:30 PM on Sunday of Labor Day Weekend).  The caller said that was pretty late to be eating dinner, and did I eat dinner that late all the time!  He said he would call back.  Obviously, I won't answer the next time.

I just want to know who call

I just got the calland it was total silence. weird indeed maybe i satan calling me spooky lol

Why are they not a scam, because they're based in your "home town"?  I suppose you're one of the scammers who work there then, don't run your FILTHY SCAM here.

Classic scam, charities get somewhere between nothing and next-to-nothing, the telescum take it all.

Moron.

FST is not a scam. They are actually based in my home town.

These people call and ask for me by my 1st name. If you speak to them they want a donation to FST but will not send appropriate info. Scam city

This is a call from the Florida Association of (for?) Florida State Troopers. It's a telemarketing call that collects money on behalf of Florida State Troopers, but if you call the Troopers, they will tell you they are not responsible for them. This scam has been going on for 20 years and no one does anything about it.

just got call from 850-338-8716 and they hung up when I answered.

This number has called me twice today and has hungup.  That is so freaking weird.

Don't answer - who are they?

phn rings and then hangs up, no message left. phn disconnected message upon return call
