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.

These people are not ligit!! If you ever talk to a real trooper, they will tell you they do not solicit donations over the phone. Please beware and do not give them any personal information or money!!!
My phone rang at about 9:30 last night, and the caller ID had AA Troopers along with the above phone #. I have been sent quite a number of prospective scams via phone and email in the past month or so, and not recognizing these dead-beats, I didn't answer. I don't have voice mail, so they couldn't leave a message. People like these are the reason I cancelled my voice mail in the first place.
called 3pm and when i picked up got a beep then nothing -- which i guess is better than having to listen to their "line" trying to scam me out of money. Legitimate police/fire dept agencies DO NOT solicit via phone -- don't be scammed by these people.
I contacted my local police department to report the call as a questionable scam. The police officer that contacted me said the AA Troopers is the American Association of Troopers and it is a legitimate entity that does collect money for Troopers -- but Oklahoma is not represented as one of the states that gets the money from their collection.
THEY CALLED ME, THAY ASK FOR $ 35, $ 20 AND IF YOU SAID NO INTERESTED, THEY SAY, $ 15 $ 10 OR EVEN $ 5 FOR SENDING YOU SOME STICKERS, AND THEN YOU NEED TO SEND THEM A CHECK OR M/O. I DO NOT THINK THEY ARE LIGIT
