I too have blocked this number since they were calling multiple times a day.
This is one of those companies that raise money for charity groups. In this case, the Ohio Troopers Association is the charitable group. These companies make the calls asking you to give and then they give the money to the charity...the only problem is the charity only gets about 10% of the money raised...the rest goes to the for profit company. Since they are calling for charity, they are then exempt from following the do not call list. (another perk for saying they work for charity.).
Here is the solution..under Ohio law you can donate to charity without using these middlemen. If you want to help this group (or any group), simply look them up and find the address of their home office and send it there. Oh, and make sure to tell the Telemarker: "wow, what a great cause, I am going to look them up online and send a donation directly to them so they get 100% of my donation without fees removed. Thank you for telling me about them." (that will drive the telemarker nuts!)

Been calling me for years--keep telling them to stop, but they don't listen--don't know if a scam or not--they aren't with the BBB AND HAVE BEEN REPORTED SINCE 2007 or 2009

I had the same exact thing happen.

Called and did not speak. Only long silence. Interesting that the other person who reported this is Jamie. Jamie is the daughter of Gary H. I wondered if it might be Gary H. wanting to contact us. He is originally from the Sandusky/Bellvue Ohio area. He is the only person I know from this area. If it is him, I wish he would speak to me.

I HAVE RECEIVED 5 PHONE CALLS FROM THIS NUMBER SINCE 10/14! IT IS EMANATING FROM SANDUSKY, OH. NEVER A MESSAGE! PROBABLY IS A PROFESSIONAL FUND RAISING COMPANY OF WHICH THE ORGANIZATION WOULD ONLY RECEIVE 10 CENTS ON THE DOLLAR. IF IT WAS AN HONORABLE COMPANY THEY WOULD STATE THEIR MISSION AND LET YOU DECIDE.
