Called and started on a spiel. Said not interested, they said WHY NOT? Hung up and blocked.
Then, based on Irritated's comment above, I Googled WA State Patrol Trooper Magazine and came across something interesting.

Quote:We have received many complaints over the last couple years about rude phone calls on behalf of "Trooper" organizations. Every time we conduct a records search, we find these calls are not originating from our center. Because it is effecting our reputation, we wanted to make people aware that several other organizations may be soliciting your homes and businesses for donations, claiming to represent "Washington Troopers". Do not be confused about the source of these solicitations from organizations with similar names. The WSPTA is not affiliated with the "American Association of State Troopers", "National Troopers Coalition" or any other organization claiming to represent State Troopers. Many of these calls originate from telemarketing companies in Florida, Texas, North Carolina and other locations.
Please make sure to ask questions when these people call you so you know who you are speaking to, and to know where your donation dollars are going. More importantly, no matter if they say "Washington Troopers" or "Washington Members" or anything similar in their pitch, know that they DO NOT represent the WSPTA.
I got phone call grom this number they told me they want me to sponsor. I said i wasnt interested and when i asked them for more information they said they would send it but i never got it.
