My wife talked with these idiots,they run a fake police charity scam,she agreed to donate but asked me first& I told her absolutely not. Law enforcement never solicits via phone or at all. I told them off once& now when they hear my voice they ask for my wife or hang up. They make it sound like a busy precinct in the background. Don't give them a dime.
Been getting calls 2-3x a day from this number or others similar...almost always 347-286 from New York, NY. They keep wanting to talk to my husband. Said he donated last year to the fire fighters league. I asked them to mail materials - we're on the "do not call list", they call back to say thank you for last year or other BS..they often hang up when they hear my voice. When I dial back the number immediately after hanging up, it says the extension is out of service. I asked them for a number my husband could call them back at and they refused then hung up on me. This has been going on for months.
I AM GETTING AT LEAST 5 CALLS A DAY FROM THIS NUMBER AND THEY HANG UP WHEN I ANSWER. I ALSO GOT CALLS FROM THE FIREFIGHTERS LEAGUE BUT I DON'T KNOW IF IT IS THE SAME NUMBER.

That could easily be a ruse to imply that you have some ongoing relationship with the so-called "charity" and that it has a perfect right to call you all month long.
} we're on the "do not call list"
That much makes no difference. The federal Do-Not-Call registry exists to help enforce the Telemarketing Sales Rule. Please note the operative term ''marketing''. A charity caller is not a sales person and is therefore not covered. Here are the DNC service terms you were supposed to review at registration time:
