This is a legitimate orginization and is legal to call in the state of oklahoma. They use a dialer to call out so certain calls are abandoned and by law you are allowed to have a certain abondentment rate. Don't ask how I know about this place, but lets just say that I wish that I didn't. Yes they keep a portion of the money to cover fundrasing expenses, but the reason you get rude people when you talk or pick up is because of the pay that they give the people on the phone.The office is located out of Denton off of Dallas Dr in Denton.

Called on my phone and I am on a due not national call list. My hunband has very hard time in walking. I do not like this it happens all the time with different numbers.
Caller ID: phone: 405-228-4099; after I said "Hello!" I heard a beep and a little talking in the background. The calling number tired to dissconnet several times before dissconnecting.
Got a call from this number at 8:52 p.m. Just got a beep and then nothing. Since I live in the 405 area code I decided to call the number back and got a recorded message. It is a fund raising office for the "American Association for State Troopers" raising funds for the "trooper Brewster" campaign. Don't know if they are ligit, don't care to know either because I need my money too much to give to anyone calling me over the phone.
I received a call from this same number at 8:54pm... I answered since we just moved and got a new number so I knew it wasn't a bill collector. LOL Anywho... I answered and heard a beep and no one on the other end. I live in the 405 area and my husband works for a local news station. They have done countless stories on people calling for donations and the majority of the people they interview has fallen victim to this type of scam. One piece of advice I can pass on is that NO Police or Fraternal Order of Police (FOP) or any agency in this capacity will ever call for donations and like SKIJ posted on 8-1-07, report the number to your local state agencies and FCC. This has got to stop.
