Received call, talked to a nice young man who was very cordial and upfront with questions asked. Initial call was for FAST, Florida Association of State Troopers. Asked for website he gave http://fastinc.org/ asked what call center, he said Community Services Inc, he was calling from New Port Richie and they had multiple sites through out the country. http://www.bbb.org/western-washington/busines ... burn-wa-7054366 He also stated they would send out a mailing to make me more comfortable with a pledge of more than $20. Stated that I wasn't comfortable with telemarketers and asked if they had an internal Do Not Call List, he said they did, asked to be put on the call list, he said he would and thanked me for my time. All is reasonable didn't get hung up on, that sounds about the way it should go. http://www.bbb.org/western-washington/busines ... burn-wa-7054366 this is what showed up on charity navigator page under FAST
btw, had also asked if they were part of Associated Community Services (AC Services) in MI, he said, no. But, that's close CS vs ACS. Did forget to say that meant all data bases and included all nondisclosure calls that may include PBA Police Benevolent Association PBA. That's the problem with telemarketers / marketing you just don't know who and what.
