Did not pick up the call they did not leave a message. First time i get this call i will block the number on my phone, they should figure out another way to get money like contacting local news stations to anounce who they are and what they are about. I don't trust organizations that i have never heard of.
If you have a Panasonic phone you may be able to block calls at no charge.
I have a Panasonic model No. KX-TGA660 it even has a secret menu (click menu then the number key, enter 240) to block private callers.
The caller left a message on my answering machine thinking he was speaking to a live person. Apparently he didn’t hear the outgoing message on the answering machine. The call stated, “My name is Eric Norton calling from the Fraternal Order of Police Lodge, California State. This call is being recorded for quality assurance. Ok.” Then he hung up. Creepy. My number is on the Do Not Call list and I don’t talk to solicitors.
Received a call from this number on my home phone at 12 noon today, Saturday. Caller ID says "CAFOP". The Fraternal Order of Police California State Lodge Website states they are "currently conducting a statewide fundraising campaign". I assume that's what this was. I didn't answer, and they didn't leave a message. I am also on the Do Not Call List.
Same scenario as everyone else has listed ...however I talked with the telemarketer. The caller definately TRIED to come across as a "Police Officer" ... but the telemarketer was far to insistant on getting a certain $ amount donation before he sent out any pledge drive paperwork. I informed him that he was more than welcome to send a donation request and I would go over it to verify the legitimacy of his organization / request. The telemarketer than said he hoped I could donate on next years fundraising drive. Sounds like a Scam.....
