with community?

Did not leave a message.

Received many silence-on-the-other-end calls from this number over the past several weeks.  This morning someone was actually on the line.  The call was from a police (I don't recall which agency) charity who insisted that I had pledged $25 in September (which was not true.)

They say they are from F.A.S.T. & they were rude & harassing me for money.

They called my business line and would not answer when I called back. They waste my time, I am concerned about not missing a call from client

Rec'd call this morning and let the machine pick it up.  The caller hung up when they realized it was a machine.

This is the Florida Association of State Troopers - an organisation that spends up to 70% of its budget on outsourced fundraising.  The telemarketers claim to raise money for charity but keep up to 90% for themselves.  Don't give them any money or the will never leave you alone.

this is a scam they said on the news these guys call her saying they are collecting for the Florida's sheriffs dept.But they do not give the money to the sheriffs dept.
when you explain nicely you are not working and cannot give over $10 they get smart and say they have to have $25 or more
when you ask to be removed from their list and that you are on the do not call list they say they are exempt from that list and then next week they call again
Brighthouse will not do anything and they have no feature to block the calls manually
THEY ARE VERY RUDE AND WILL NOT STOP CALLING
TOMORROW I AM CONTACTING PORT RICHIE SHERIFF'S SINCE THAT'S WHERE THE CALL IS COMING FROM

THANK YOU GRINCH
i am printing the number out now and i am going to make them stop calling me if i have to call every sheriffs dept in Florida
i also looked into the news stations i will contact them also

I am constantly harrassed by these people as well! I was actually woke up by them this morning which really does a good job motivating me to do something about it. THey are persistant and think they can pressure people into "pledging" a certain amount of money. I am going to send an email and a certified letter to FAST, requesting to be removed from their calling list. I figure calling them back doesn't give me evidence of my request. I want hard evidence so that I can take it to the next step if they do not stop calling me. After reading about it, this money doesn't even go to a good cause, but even if 100% of it did, there is no way I would reinforce the bad behavior of these people.

This is the fundraising money but all you ahve to do is call (850) 681-9551  & ask to have you # removed from their database.  The VERY NICE woman who answered the phont did it right there over the phone.

I'll be happy to never get a phone call from them again.

I have documented 124 calls fromthese people on a notepad since Dec 2007.  Time date and number - all hours and days.  I also have Caller ID print outs...I am just waiting and I am going to sue for every dime they have - so watch out FAST, WITH COMMUNITY etc.  I am tracking you....

They just called even though we've asked at least 4 times for them to stop - when I reminded them of that, the guy said "you have us mixed up with someone else"...well, no I don't and when I said that he quizzed me!!  "What's the name of the organization?" - when I responded he said "okay, we'll remove your number"....jeez, these guys are relentless!!  

Number came up "Unknown" and guess I should have known better but being as I run a business out of my house I answer all calls.

Constant Calls

Theses calls are NOT coming from the Florida Association of State Troopers, the calls are coming from a spineless organization called PORTFOLIO RECOVERY ASSOCIATES, 120 Corporate Blvd, Norfolk, VA, headed by a wimp named Steve Fredrickson.  THEY ARE SPOOF CALLS, electronically manipulated calls by Portfolio Recovery Associates (AJ and THE GRINCH work for PRA), to ANNOY AND HARASS PEOPLE THAT THEY CAN NOT COLLECT DEBTS FROM.

Reporting from Orlando, FL. I just recieved one of telemarketers calls and let it go to voicemail. I found out it is from FAST. My suggestion is that any number you don't know, just let it go to voicemail. My belief is that if they don't want to be known who they are, then I don't want to know them either.

Call from With Community. Would not say anything when answered.

they have called me the past three days and when i answered they hung up on me. .

I even offered the troopers in Missouri ten dollars, and they said bless you or something like that and hung up. They had two plans and that was it. One was 25 dollars and the other more. This has happened twice. I am tired of it. I hate to hang up on people, but they give me no other choice.

I give to charity's that I choose and to my Church.
