I called the number back and it's someone asking for money from the FOP. When I called back, they already knew who I was, first and last name, and proceeded to try to get me to donate. When I said I was only calling to find out who was behind the number, the man said, "Oh. Well can we still count on you to donate?" I said nope, not with those tactics, and hung up.
FOP...How many times do you have to tell them NO!!!!! can i call the cops to have them stop bothering me!
These people need to stop bothering us. The phone company makes money by selling your number, and unless you get it private right at the beginning, then your number is out there for all these types.
Received call from this number and talked with the caller, a male whose name i did not record. I queried him about who he was and what he wanted. He explained that he is a paid fundraiser for the Fraternal Order of Police. This was after he brought me to laughter by initially stating that he was calling to remind me not to drink and drive. Now that was most funny. After I told him that I don't respond to telephone solicitations, I did asked him the most hard question about what is he going to do about the Lord Jesus Christ as I would not want him to go to hell. He responded that he already has experience hell by having been married to his ex-wife. I responded his marriage was practice and not hell. I gave him homework, to get his Bible, read and memorize Romans 10:9-10 and then read the whole chapter. He apparently recorded the homework assignment as he asked me to repeat the assignment. He then tried a different approach to getting a donation. I asked him if he remembered what I told him about me not responding to telephone solicitations. He soon said he had to go. I share this for the purpose of showing that while telephone solicitors attempt to get the solicited to buy their sales pitch, the solicited should make their sales pitch to the solicitors. Solicit the solicitors to give to you, your favorite charity, or what ever you desire. Why not ask them to pay your car note, rent, mortgage, church. Hey,ask the solicitor to donate to your dress fund, your child's college fund, or something.
