called us at 8:45 this morning. Saturday morning. I was asleep. This jerk asked to call for "the lady of the house", said he was with the police, said, "don't worry, you're not in trouble, blah blah."
Called asked for the lady of the house. My husband said I wasn't home. Caller said he was calling for Fratnernal Order of Police and wanted donations. My husband said, "Oh good, I know she will want to talk to you, she's a detective." Which I am. They hung up. He keeps calling them and they keep hanging up!
Have received three calls from "Police Mem Fund" starting a week or so ago. I've been on the National Do Not Call Registry for 1.5 years; this is one of the few that's slipped through the cracks. I haven't answered yet, though next time I may, and have a bit of fun.
Got a call from them this morning. It was after 10, but nothing came up besides "Marysville WA" with the number.
The guy was pretty nice, though I too got the whole "don't worry, you're not in trouble" (I should hope not, I don't even GO to Marysville WA!)and "Isn't it nice to know that our police forces are here for you when you need them?" And thinking about those who gave the ultimate sacrifice and all that. Told me about how many way their payment options could be held and so forth..
Anyway,he told me he'd understand if we said no, which we did, as if I want to donate to the police, I'll do it locally, not for a city over an hour away from our home.
So, he asked if he could call back in 6 months or so. We'll have to see if they wait that long!
(Oh..and for the people on the DNC list..I am too and have been from the beginning. But unfortunately I think this kind of call falls under the charities/political calls that "don't count", so they can still call whenever they want to..ugh!)
