Received call today nobody on the line.  Been on the national do not call list for 4 months

Received several calls from the is number over the last few days.  No message is ever left on the machine.

I just received a call from this number, too. No message left on the machine, and like the first person here, we have been on the Do Not Call list for years.

Called yesterday and today, I don't pick up on unknown numbers, because they usually either want to sell you something or hang up on you. Very annoying. And they called before 9am!

I found several of these on my unlisted and unpublished phone caller ID after return from a trip.

It called about 9:30am & did not leave a message.

It called again about 5:30pm and the telemarketer said he was with the "Fraternal Order of Police". I told him I was not interested. I then hung up on him. They had been calling from another number. I guess it's time to block that number too.

They've called my office (Gov't facility) three times in past 24 hours 0817 11/20, 1719 on 11/20, and again 0839 on 11/21.

got a call from this number....i asked my roommate to answer...and did not even introduce himself...

These are people who ask for donations to the Virginia State Police FOP. Tell them you are unemployed and they will leave you alone.

Received a call today state they were from the National Order of Police and wants a donation...I've recently seen a program on TV about the National Order of Police and how companies are claiming they are a part of the organization and are requesting donate on the behalf of the N.O.P.

Got a call multiple times this week.  We're able to block calls on our handset so the number won't ring and goes right into voicemail.  They could outlaw telemarketing and it wouldn't hurt my feelings a bit.  This site is great.

Received two calls this morning from 540-318-7335, one answered by my wife who told the man to call her husband back. He said he could not, so she said "sorry about that" and hung up. The "phone bank" (I once knew as a "boiler Room"), is located in West Virginia.

    He did call back two hours later and I had a long talk with "Chad Finch". The fund raising group he works with contracts with the FOP, Fraternal order of Police (IRS 501(c)(8)organization)to raise money for them. The fundraisers will get a maximum of $400.000. or 15% of the gross collections. The balance of the money (85%) will go the the FOP which will be whittled down further by salaries, overhead etc. before any money is put into the actual use for the benefit of the members.  

    They do not represent any particular police department. They represent whomever (I assume law inforcement personel) personally joining the organization.  The benefits of joining, apparently would provide a death benefit to the members family and provide a scholarship program for the children of a deceased officer.  They also are working on a child finger print program according to Chad.

    I told Chad that the organization probably does someone some good, but I was not interested in contributing to the POP or to his funding raising group. Also, I am sorry that the "do not call" list does not pertain to nonprofit organizations.  I did tell him that this was the fourth call from his group in the last week.  He said the records indicated that this was the first contact.  I said that it was not true, that he contacted my wife two hours ago.  He apologized.  I said that the number he is using is being commented on in the internet and that he really is not making friends - he laughed.  
   
    I told him that the phone computer apparently calls several people at one time and when the first answers, it hangs up the the others.  He told me that it depends on the number of solicitors working at that time as to the number called at one time.  Also, if someone does not answer by three rings, it hangs up automatically.  This is another way of making good friends!

    I apologize for taking a lot of his time, but thanked him for the information.  He was a nice fellow but not making any friends.

This number called my house at 8:32am on 11/21.  I was out of town and it left no message.  Thanks for posting here so I could figure out who it was calling.

Called my house, spoke to my wife, asking for me, but left no message. Thanks for posting here . . . This is a pretty neat site!

I have received 2 calls previously and told the gentleman I did not want to donate to a charity he could not define beyond "Fraternal Order of Police".  I just received another call from this number and explained that I had already declined to give any money on the previous call.  He stated "You don't want to contribute?"  I then told him that I use CFC to contribute my charitable donations and he hung up.

That number just called my house at 8:05 a.m..  Told him he woke me up and hung up.  This the second attempt by those fine folks--the first time I told them no thanks and not to call back.  Guess they don't get the message.  I have sent an e-mail to the VA FOP (vafop@aol.com) asking that I not be contacted by this fund raising organization.  Recommend everyone do the same.

Follow up to my previous message.  After contacting the VA FOP (vafor@aol.com)I received a message from their administrative assistant (Bonnie) who said if you provide your phone number they will add it to their Do NoT Call list.  Hope it works!

Typical rings with no one there.  As to the VA FOP, I am contacting my rep to ask for a state bill to ban the practices of the single worst soliciting organization out there, FOP.  This is a new number for them but the practice is exactly the same as pages and pages of complaints against them.  NO ONE should ever give them even 2 seconds on the phone and even less for $.  What's the difference between strong arming and harassment and this organization. In THEORY our police are supposed to stop  NOT support and push this behavior!  I give through CFC and I would never even consider them even if they cleaned up their disgusting behavior.  Seems to me many criminal and violent organizations have done some good deeds to try and look acceptable.  Tell me what the difference is here!

Same as above. They keep calling, and calling...

Phone run at 4:42pm and no one there... Woke me up... grr.. lol
