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.
About 28 year-ago, I was deperate for a job and answered an ad for telemarketers. I was handed cut-out pages from my local city directory and told to call everyong on the listing using prewritten script for communication. Others in the pool used out-of-town directories. I was shown a contract that revealed a 6% cut of the donations going to the "Texas Fraternal Order of Poliice Officers"--I asked why the amount going to the orginization was so low. They didn't like the question. I quit after about one week. The Web is a great eyeopener but it did not exist back then. I still wonder how they manage to escape prosecution. It would not surprise me to find out that the persons who may have incubated the scam are directly or indirectly responsible for the current propagation of what appears to be the same. My apologies to all that I called during that embarrassing week.
they asked for the lady of the house first time I said she wasn't in ,second time I asked who exactly by name they were looking for ,they couldn't tell,if someone is calling my home and doesn't even know my name its real dodgy!!

Got a call from 14897180644 with caller ID as Texas FOP...FOP is Faternal Order of Police I imagine...researched the number and was made aware that it is a scam...
