This number just called me and the operator was talking to someone next to her then hung up. I called back and it says the number has been disconnected! Sketchy!!!
These guys keep pestering me too. Several calls a day and late in the evening too. They are using random digit dialers and they don't leave a message if it goes to the answering machine. They have a block of numbers, I also get calls from a similar number (203) 922-1989 that come up as C T Maher Promo. I did speak with them live one time when I picked up by mistake and the guy on the other end sounded like a real high pressure slimeball scam artist. Because of these jokers who claim to "represent your Non-profit Organization or business with the highest degree of professionalism" (see above comment) I've stopped donating to any Police organizations, which is a shame. I live near the "office" location that's listed for them on the web. A "suite" sounds pretty ritzy, doesn't it? A recent drive-by shows that #273 Canal Street is the skeeviest block in downtown Shelton. #273 is an abandoned factory, and the only sign on #273 says "Keep Out" just like any company with "the highest degree of professionalism" would do. Forget Jaybee's funny comment above urging you not to spread something on their doors. From the looks of the building, I'd say people have already been doing that for decades....... But if their constant harrassment bothers you, a complaint to the Better Business Bureau might help other people form an opinion as to whether or not this is the kind of charity fundraising that deserves their hard-earned dollars.
I believe what is going on is all phone numbers get dialed because they have an out dated kind of software program that dials phone numbers, because it must cost too much money to keep buying phone numbers to call that are not on the "do not call list" so it must be something like their monitor shows the phone number that's been dialed, then prompt on the screen as to weather if you are blocked from telemarketers calls or not, so obviously if you are listed as being blocked from telemarketers then they hang up, this way in order to not break the law because because they never actually asked you to donate.... if faced by authorities they will most likely say, opps, can't I dial a wrong number...
I'll bet you can set your watch by it as to when you'll get a call from them, when its your turn in the automated dialing rotation.
So if this is indeed the case how do we go about getting this fixed? what else can it be? of course I really don't believe they are calling us out of spite to be mean...

Gosh C t Maher promo,continues to call but hangs up. We are very annoyed. They call 2 or 3 times a day. When you call their number it is busy. They better stop calling. We are on the no call list. We are on a budget and cannot contribute to anyone. Please stop calling!.
