Caller identified his organization as Zentec (spelling?), and was soliciting funds for the Police Athletic League. I said I didn't pledge funds by phone and said they could mail me their material, and I hung up. (If they know who I am, then they have my address. -- The caller did know my first name.)
I looked up both Zentec and Xentec on google.com and found nothing related to the P.A.L.
I called back to 860-269-8751 and got a recorded announcement from the P.A.L. and a reference to their main number at 800-396-1757.
I HAVE GOTTEN CALLS FROM THESE PEOPLE TOO.
THEY ARE PROBABLY RAISING MONEY FOR THE POLICE. IN MOST CASES THEY TAKE A LARGE PERCENTAGE OF THE FUNDS RAISED.
I DO NOT GIVE TO PEOPLE LIKE THAT. I ASK THEM IF THEY ARE OFFICERS AND THEY ALWAYS SAY NO. I TELL THEM TO HAVE A LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICER CALL ME BACK. THEY NEVER CALL BACK
Rec'd 2 calls from this number as well. Tried calling back and needed the area code so looked it up and landed on this site. Grateful for this resource.
If it is the National Association of Police Athletics, I've spoken with them before regarding the % that actually goes to charity - less than 10%!!!
