I tell them the party has moved and give them a forwarding number, to the local sheriffs' office.

I am being harassed for donation by this number, calling at odd hours, weekends, evenings, hours of work, asking to donate to FOP in an authorotative way which I do not appreciate. Donation is voluntary, not coerced like this. Is there someone who can stop this practice?

A lady identified herself as Mabel Benavides asking for me
By first name or my husband (I'm not married btw) anyways I asked her what company she was calling from but since I did not confirm or denied I was the person she was asking for she hung up.

Have received several calls from 954-674-1269, Hollywood, FL.  I don't answer since caller not fully identified.  Caller does not leave a message.

I get this call everyday. It is a SCAM about the FOP/Sherrif/State Trooper funds etc. Its a scam- I worked for the company & they jump around FL & they also have software to make up bogus numbers on your caller ID. I worked there 1 day in 1997 & as soon as I saw it was a scam I was out of there, I THOUGHT really thought I was working for or on behalf of the FOP, which I had family members who were FOP, when I found out I wasnt I was out the door- just creeps trying to sucker old people. THEY take all the money & move each month so the real state troopers cant find them

Have received 4 different calls from the exact same number representating 4 different organizations. Four different sheriff, local fire and police departments.
Tonight I asked the boiler room phone operator to please send me a report that shows how much of every dollar actualy goes to the Hernando Sheriff Department or the Florida State Troopers?.
I heard a click on the line.  Save yourself the time and do not pick up the phone when these jokers call.

I get this call once a week.  When I answer the message says" please hold while I connect your call"
I just hang up.  Wish there was a way to stop this intrusion.

Three years ago I was harassed until I pledged $20.  I never mailed it in.  This number called me again and threatened me with jail because I made a pledge.  I never paid.  Why do people do business this way.

Calls for charity are excempt from the Do Not Call List law.  

Most charities that call asking for donations use telemarketing companies to make the calls.  Those companies keep about 70% of every donation to cover fund raising.  Charities with "police" or "sheriff" or "state trooper" in the name keep close to 95% of your donation to pay for fund raising.  

I never donate to anyone who calls me.
