Joseph, I'm baffled- your reply to anon employee doesn't match his comments at all. I'm a new employee (an ex ministry teacher & former seminary student, NOT an ex convict) who just looked at the dates (several years old) on all these other comments from those we called & former employees. Perhaps this info was true back then, but if so things have changed & this isn't how things are at Statewide Appeal NOW.
They've called me many of times of the years. Because they are a "Fund Raiser", the "Do Not Call" laws don't apply to them. They claim to be affiliated with law enforcement. I have screemed at them, I have threatened them, I've tested their manhood just to see if ANY cops would show up at my door and they don't. I suggest going to your local police department and informing them of this scam and harrassment to see if there is anything they can do seeing this organization claims relations to law enforcement.
Ask them if there a state trooper themselves! Chances are you're speaking to a convicted felon! they are a legitimate company, and not much can be done, but to just ask to be removed off the list. And for the record YELLING will not work, if anything, once you hangup, and if your really pissed them off, they'll put you on the call back list.
i am familiar with this organization they have called in the past. they are raising unsolicited funds for the texas state troopers. they keep about 90% of the funds for "administrative" costs
If Statewide Appeals wants to flood our homes with harassing calls, then we should all contact the City of San Antonio (Chamber of Congress for example) and file complaints. Fund Raiser or not, this is harassment!
Contact the Texas State Troopers - do you think they want to be affiliated with a company like this???
Lets stop posting to a message board and actually contact state officials!
