He claimed his name was Joe Mackel and was calling from the New Jersey Police Officer's Association. This guy has called before and said it was something about the Veterans Association or something involving Police. I even told him he has called a few times before (recognized his voice) saying a different organization each time. He ALWAYS says this: "Are you SURE you are comfortable giving such and such amount of money?" I also told him that it was very obvious that he was reading and sounded like a recording. He didn't know what to do after I said I never fall for these kind of phone calls.
received a call on 6/5/2015 from 908-968-9168 asking for a donation for the the police benevolent assoc. Very aggressive insisting and alarming. This number should be reported. Anyone know to who?
If these people are supposedly soliciting for a charity or other donations, I don't think there is anything we can do about it. I just watch the caller ID and, if it is someone I know, I answer. Otherwise, if it is someone who really wants to contact me, they should leave a message on my answering machine. Yes, the frequent ringing of the phone is a pain in the posterior, but I think we're stuck with this sh . . . er . . . stuff.
