I just got several calls from this number today. It is the Kentucky FOP. I am evidently on a list for every police and fire dept. fundraising organization. I donated some money to the KY State Police and am now paying for it dearly with 3-5 harassing phone calls from each of several different numbers (KY FOP, KY State Police, KY Firefighters, etc.). When I tell them I have no money to send, they just talk over me. No matter what you do, short of changing your phone number, can stop these people. The No Call list does not help with 'charitable' organizations.
If anyone out there has any ideas on how to stop these calls, please let us know!
Thanks!!

They are calling almost every day. They never leave a message.
The no-call list applies only to businesses. I wish there were a no-call list for charitable organizations and political campaigns. Whether they are selling something or asking for money or asking for votes, it is all the same--they are all telemarketers.
It seems that if they get your number from traffic/moving violations in the state...then they call you and try to "intimidate" you in to donating to them.
It's ridiculous how they harrass you but they have nothing to lose and feel that if they bug you enough that you will give in to them to shut them up. But lookout, because once you give them a donation they never quit calling you for more!
Your best bet is to never answer this call or forward it to a business that you know doesn't speak very good english. That way they will get frustrated and maybe cross off you number ;-) Or maybe you could forward to a law enforcement agency ie; FBI, HOMELAND SECURITY, the Pentegon, or a military base office....
