I have received 9 calls from these people in the last week and a half. The caller ID says "local." I answered the first call and the man on the line claimed to be representing the Rockland, Mass Police Dept. looking for donations. I told him I wasn't interested and hung up. A few days later they called again. I told them they had already called me and I was all set. Since then, 7 more calls, none of which I have answered. As you can see from the list below, the last four numbers are always different, and they frequently call more than once a day. Sometimes the calls will be only moments apart.
I feel these are intimidation tactics. People will be afraid to say "no" because it is the police. I have fallen for this in the past, as I'm sure have many others. I am on the do not call list also. Obviously it doesn't work.
I have receiced many calls lately from 781-817-6751 and 781-817-6767 and 781-817-6743 etc. I get only 12 calls to block at a time with Comcast. I recently called to see if I could get that number increased and the answer was no. I would like to be able to block every annoying call not just 12 at a time.
I to have gotten calls from these numbers and I am on the do not call list. The dnc list does work it is just that some companies are exempt from the list. If you notice the only call you will get if they are playing by the rules is calls from non profits like Special Olympics, police and Firefighters assoc. Political party's and company's that you do business with such as credit card co. insurance co. cable co. etc.etc. any one else is braking the law.
781-817-6743 called today collecting for the Wilmington Police Patrolmen. After these postings, I would only give directly to the Wilmington Police Dept itself.
