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."
They are not a scam. I questioned the various differnet phone numbers as well....they have so many diff lines that they have to use more numbers. It is the Fraternal Order of police and the Memorial. They were nice and are doing fundraisers for a good cause.
This guy calls and starts off with the "don't worry you are not in trouble" line. I tried telling him to stop calling because my number is in the Federal "Do Not Call" registry. He initiated a recording that went on for minutes. At the end of it, I called into the number back and reached this lady who tells me that they have the rights to call me, no matter I tell them not to. I filed a complaint with the Federal "Do Not Call" registry. Hope this WAFOP gets to stop spam calls.
He started off with the "you're not in trouble" line. Then he asked me to spell my first and last name for him. I told him he already should have that info since he asked for me by name when he called. He then asked for my street address. I asked him for his name, home, address and phone number. He started with the "my headset is malfuctioning routine" then he hung up!
Definitly a scam! Don't give tell these jerks anything about youself.
We get calls from this and like numbers every day. Every year my husband gives money to the state firefighters and police, they call from a completely different number then this and always in the early spring.
Last night he tried to question these people about it and as soon as he asked it they hung up on him. Red flags are all over these numbers on different sites.
