Identified self as from Texas Highway Patrol. I asked, "Is this an emergency?" (I'm frightened because a family member is overdue for arrival) caller said "didn't mean to frighten you.." "We have an officer down ... "Why are you calling?" I said. Hung up.
I for one am sick of these phone calls. We have asked repeatedly to be removed from the caller list. That to me alone screams harassment. If I want to donate I find my own organizations and donate and not to one that DUNS me like Im late on a bill or something. How far could 5.00 go when you hear all that telemarketer noise going on behind them? The the pushiness for the 5.00 hacks me off. The not taking NO for an answer is positively a pain in the butt. He said they would not call me again in 2011 Liar. Donate once and they call you every 4 weeks. I made that mistake 2 years ago and marked iton the calendar every time they called me
SO for now its my 5.00 and Im keeping it or sending to an organization that doesnt bug the hoohoo out of me.
We were called nine times in three days by the Texas Highway Patrol Association. Very persistent. Would not take no for an answer. After nine times I would hope they got the message.
