I have had calls from poa Georgia for months now. It started out with them asking for a donation and i agreed the first time. They then proceeded to call a couple of days later for another donation and I politely said no, not at this time. Since then I have received at least 2 calls a day sometimes more where they hang up on me and my husband. I decided to ignore the calls and not answer but they still call. They will not stop. Anyone have any ideas other then changing my phone #??? We also tried to call the # back but it will not connect us. We tried blocking them too but it will not let us. It has something to do with the 205#. I don't think anyone should ever have to deal with these people. It is very very wrong and I would think it would be considered harassment.

I am hoping that there is a way to stop this number calling my home. I am retired, disabled, and it's hard for me to get to the phone. Please give a solution. Thanks
4/8/10 For a month now, these calls have started again. I have ask nicely and not so nicely that they not call our home ever again. I explained that we are on SS and do not have the money to help.
Wednesday morning, a call came in, they asked to speak with my husband, I explained he was not available, they hung up on me. Last evening at approx 7pm, another call came in, I ignored this one. Today at 3pm, we got another call and when I answered the phone, I was once again hung up on.
I called the telephone company and registered our phone once again on the "do not call" national registry. I realize this is not going to work. I then tried calling the 205-402-4500 number these calls are coming from and of course, you cannot get your call through.
My next step was looking them up on the computer by typing in Police Officers of America of Ga (poa.gov); This brought up the Police Benevolent Assoc of Ga and a very nice lady spoke with me. She checked the telephone number on her board and reported that the board if full of calls from people complaining.
I think WE all need to complain to the telephone company and have them fix it so that these type of calls can be blocked and they follow through with legal steps.
Why should we their customers have to do all the work to protect ourselves and get NO results?
Is there anyone else out there who agrees with me? If so,let me know.

I too am receiving annoying and constant calls from this number. With the number of messages I see being sent to you and just having talked with someone at the Police Benevelent Assoc. they too have a board filled with calls from people calling about the calls they are receiving from this same number, why can you and the telephone company not get together and put a stop to this?
It is NOT the customers responsibility to handle this problem!.
