He asked for the owner of the company I work for and when I said I asked what the call was in reference to he said "a community matter". He told me his name is Joe Escobar with the Fraternal Order of Police and to call back at 214.638.0630
Recv'd a call from Jim Carsons w/The Dallas Sheriffs' Office. Very matter-o-fact sounding. Left no message as to why the call, just that I "needed" to call him back @ 214-638-0630. Sounds like the other calls listed here. My experience is that these folks are with a fund raising org. and less than 20% of the donated money actually goes to the Named Organization. Just an FYI. Hey, he has a job and 10+ different names.
I worked at this location at 6000 Maple, Dallas, TX for one day. It was the nasty group of individuals I have ever met. The first time I met the supposedly GM Jamie he had an infected mosquito bite in his face, that was so huge yellow and full of pus.
Mostly everyone there are men, the place was vile, almost everyone there smoke and smelled like it. The're were conversations that were full of vulgarities. The man who set next to me, was so frustrated he slammed the phone down everytime he made a call.
They have 11 phone lines and they supposedly represent the Zakat Shriners, Faternal Order of Police Lodeg #85, Tarrant County Fraternal Order of Police, Lodge #44, Texas State Lodge Fraternal Order of Police and operating under the guise. T.N.O.P.
The building was horrid, they had gaming machine everyone. One man called to ask people to put gambling machines at their business location.
I believe they make up a new name each time they call numbers, they have printed call sheets that are used. Steve Zaduk name is listed as the coordinator and get this he has several numbers listed as followed. 817-649-7161;1(800)3732610;214-638-0639
Got a call from 214-351-3870 - left msg that they were working on civic/civil project and to call back 214-638-0630. Walter Lee was name. I tried to call back just to see who they were, but sounded fishy.
yes, even snakes can be nice over the phone to get what they want..
they called my company and said to have the "owner call back that it was a CIVIL matter.. not "civic" matter.
BS. they will say anything to get a name, phone number or call back from an owner.
BEWARE! the number they call from is NOT sherriffs office but a public relations firm that uses telemarketing to get money using all kinds of dialogue.

I was given the call back number of 214 638 0630 (Walter Lee). Call back and they dont know who he is.. but finally find him. I guess they use so many alias' they cant keep up with them.
My suggestion is you ask him who with the Sheriffs Department you can call to confirm he is with them and working on their behalf.. see how fast he hangs up.
Dallas Sheriffs offices:
214 653 3450
The Sheriffs office said it is not done for them but for the Fraternal of Police.
sheriffs department said the FOP chief also agrees that for soliciting funds... they are NOT to say they are with or use the words Dallas Sheriff's !
President of FOP is Ben Roberts 214 752 2855
complain to him and the crap should stop.
I just received a call back from the Sheriffs office and they said they are NOT to use the wording "Sheriffs Office"..
and that it is a private company that contracted with the FOP and as we all know the scam is the contracting company takes the majority of the donation for their expenses and gives very little to the actual "cause".
Beware Beware be wise and take the time to complain to make it hard on these blood suckers.
