My wife got a call today, 3/6/14, from 717-207-8463. She told him to wait until she
got her husband. When I picked up the phone, he had already hung up. He said
that he was calling on behalf of the F.O.P
Just got a call from this number, 8:50pm on 3/7/14...from the Fraternal order of state police, said that the call would be recorded...I said fine and I am not interested and hung up. Years ago, a group by this name kept calling asking for donations and when we refused they kept calling saying we owed them money.
They are exempt from the Do Not Call list. Political solicitations are not covered by the TSR at all, since they are not included in its definition of “telemarketing.” Charities are not covered by the requirements of the national registry. However, if a third-party telemarketer is calling on behalf of a charity, a consumer may ask not to receive any more calls from, or on behalf of, that specific charity. If a third-party telemarketer calls again on behalf of that charity, the telemarketer may be subject to a fine of up to $16,000 .
