I answered the call (forwarded via my Google Voice account) and it clearly was forwarding it back to somewhere else. They spelled out a number and hung up - hoping I'll call. Guess what, I'm not, and I'm blocking it with Google Voice. They'll get the busy signal if they try again.
It registers as Texas Troopers Assoc. I treat all phone solicitors as a scam. Wouldnt give one red dime to someone calling me. Could be legit, but my guess it's not. It's a shame, because I'm sure there are some good people out there. It's just that the scammers screw it up for everyone.
That's a solicitation to get you to donate money to the Texas State Trooper's Association. This is run by a fundraising company that's been in trouble with the state:

Basically they keep most of the money. If you want to help out local law enforcement support groups, I would suggest you do your own searches and research and pick a good one ... don't rely on cold-call telemarketers.
The link you posted is in regards to the 'Texas Highway Patrol Association', but you stated it was the Texas State Troopers Association...two different organizations
