this is not Pinedale florist! it is a fraudulent fundraising company who hired this guy to harass people for money for "state troopers" he is obviously masking as a florist. I blocked my number called him back and immediately realized I had spoken to him before and told him not to ever call me again-he began to argue with me! Now he's using a different number and said he works for a fundraising company. I told him never to call back and he said he'd put me on his do not call list-I don't know how he had my number since it was blocked and calling from my cell phone not the landline he called me on. I think others should start to harass him now!!
It's a 'Portfolio Recovery' debt collector using a spoofed number from a legitimate florist business. They use various spoofed numbers and business names to trick you into verifying your identity and address. The junk debt they’ve purchased is so old the contact info is outdated and they need your address to begin harassing demands for payment. They have recently used other spoofed florist names & phone numbers as well as 'Children’s Cancer' and 'Police Benevolent Assoc' all in an effort to get you to answer the phone so they can confirm your identity.

When I picked up the phone, there was message that the phone call would be recorded. I thought that was odd already. The guy on the other end told me he was from an organization that supports the families of fallen officers. He wanted to send me something in the mail to make a donation, but insisted that I commit to an amount over the phone. Since he was extremely rude, I just hang up.
