They called and asked for the lady of the house. I told them if they didn't know my name then obviously they didn't need to be calling me and I hung up.
This is probably a Debt Collector spoofing caller ID to show Texas Faternal Order of Police instead of the actual originating station. You are likely to have gotten calls the same day from other known Debt Collector's numbers.
these people -if they are the Frat.Order of Police - sometimes they use Texas FOP, today was just the phone number - have called a few months back, and I traced them online to South Texas area. so maybe they are now in Dallas area also.
I found out by whocalledus.com last year. I don't pick up the phone (unlisted number BTW !) if I don't know who is calling. there is never any recorded message from these guys. I did read they are phoneys looking for "Donations" I ignore them.
Caller ID said "Texas Fop". The Texas Fraternal Order of Police is a scam operation to con you out of your money. They are not associated with any police department. They use various phone numbers, many of them beginning 469-718-06xx, including 469-718-0659. Put their numbers on your blocked calls list. I use software that answers the call on one ring, squeals, then hangs up on block list numbers. It can use wildcard characters in identifying the numbers, so I block any number starting 469-718-06xx.
I spoke with a police officer in my community and he says they don't do things this way. You might get something in the mail asking for donations or whatever, but they never solicte over the phone. Who in their right mind would give anyone their personal info over the phone???? Never, never do that!!!!!
I also got a call from this number, but the funny thing was is that is was to my fathers home. They identified themselves as the fop but would not leave a message etc. I have no idea how they could have got the number to my father considering he has recently changed numbers and Ive never given that number to anyone for anything.
