This call came in at 18:26 hours on Thursday, 4-24-06 originating from Level 3 Communications in Wichita, KS. Caller ID said "Local". Another site identifies this as the Kansas Association Of Police Chiefs. Now the Caller ID made sense, it isn't a local phone call, it's Local as in labor union. This outfit, of course, can duck the Do Not Call registry.
I just got an email telling me to call this number to find out who is calling me. If this IS a legitimate "charity", why are they being so underhanded in their attempts to raise money. I live on a pension; why do they (police) think that because they have to live on a pension, I should share my pension with them? That's assuming this operation really is raising money for police who live on very limited retirement funds. I have known a couple of law enforcement officers who went on to other careers after retiring. I don't get why police need to have their pensions augmented anymore than anyone else.
Mine showed "local" on the caller ID too. I'm suspicious of a charity that does that. Will more people really answer and be excited about donating if they see "local" instead of the real name of the charity? It didn't make me answer and I doubt that many people would either.
