Called my line asking for the owner of our company - became beligerant and would only give his name as joe - finally alluded to calling on behalf of some police organization fund raiser - when I explained I was the attorney for our company he promptly hung up.
It's very easy to get rid of these people. Since they claim they are w/the NYPD PBA (Police Benevolent Association), which they are NOT, nicely say this:
1. If you are woman tell them your husband, who is a chief at 1 PP (Police Plaza), will get in touch w/the PBA himself.
OR
2. If you are man, tell them you will get in touch w/your brother, the same chief at 1 PP.
They should get the picture...and if your dh or brother is a chief w/the NYPD, tell him anyway ;)
