  I was contacted by phone from this organization in October for a donation request. They sent me an invoice for $50 by mail which I paid. I now receive 1-2 phone calls per day from this organization and others that they sold my information to (other police agencies, fire fighters). I have blocked almost 100 phone numbers, and have requested that they remove my name from their lists when they call (they always hang up). This is incredibly violating and ************** also means that I will never donate again. How can I be removed from their lists?

  In September I received a call from the Police and Troopers Association requesting a donation. I was on the road and had donated to my local state police numerous times so when the number appeared local I decided to donate $50.00. Now I am called 3x /day 6 days/week and sent request for payment they are saying I promised. Today they said "someone" had approved another $50.00 payment and requested permission to use my card saved on file. I said absolutely no. I have tried to remove my # from an automated system as well as telling them every single time to remove my information from their system to no avail. Please help to get them shut down this is ridiculous.

  This business continues to call me over the past ************************************************************************************************** Up to 5 phone calls a day asking for donations. No matter how many times I ask them to stop they keep calling. All times of the day. I want them to stop. They need to permanently remove me from their call list. It should not have to come to me contacting you, but they leave me no choice as I warned them I would be contacting you if they continued to call.

  This company has contacted me 5 times a day, 6 days a week, and will not stop even after telling them to stop contacting me. Since May this company has contacted me ***** times. They call me from so many different numbers in my state, you don't know if it's a family member in need, or just this company. I have no debt collectors in my life whatsoever, and this company is so harassing, it's absolute insanity. I've never seen a company that is supposed to be a "charity" harass people like this, where are the lawyers with the class action lawsuit, why is this company allowed to do this because they say it's a charity they can do nothing, but contact you 5 times a day 6 days a week. This is just absolutely crazy. I'm certifying them a cease letter as if I have a debt collector for a "charity". This is by far the most insane form of harassment ever and block the number I've blocked so many of their numbers I can't block any more on my phone. From 8am until 8:30pm these calls don't stop 5 times a day, 6 days a week. I cannot express enough do not pledge to this company they will never stop calling you even when you pay, or even when you tell them to stop. They're getting away with their harassment by calling themselves a "charity". I'm sure this company will find this laughable, but there calls and the phone harassment is so extreme and should be illegal. This is the most disgusting form of abuse by a telemarketer, and only being allowed to do this calling themselves a "charity". ***** calls in 5 months from one company tell me this isn't harassment. I'm actually probably shy a few phone calls and the number of calls is probably actually higher. I've reported to FCC, I'm on the do not call list, I've reported every block number I have on this company. I'm just taking notes now waiting for the $500 for each call they make after they've been told to stop.

  I received a cold call from the National *********************************************** Association asking for a donation. I agreed to donate $20, but would not give my donation over the phone, I asked for a mail donation request. I did donate the $20. Since then, I have been receiving 1-3 phone calls everyday requesting money for different organizations such as the Fire Fighters Association, etc. All the calls are coming from ** phone numbers. I kindly asked phone representative to take me off their list. As soon as I say that, they hang up and I keep on getting more calls. I block the phone numbers from my phone, but the calls keep on coming. This is boarder line phone harassment. I would like my number permanently removed from the company making the calls and I will not donate this this organization ever again.

  I offered to make a $25 donation. I then Googled the association and discovered their funds don't fully go to any police/trooper department. I dug a little deeper and discovered the disappointment in the fact that they don't really do anything beneficial for police officers or troopers. I then sent them their paperwork back along with writing that I would like no further contact and that I've chosen to donate my money to my local forces. I block every number they contact me with. They very much emit a scammer sense when speaking to them especially with the repeated calls from varying phone numbers. I believe whole heartedly this is fraudulent to some degree and I have no interest in doing business with this organization or receiving any further contact. Donate to your local police department, sherrifs office or trooper station. Don't go through any organization unless you can verify their credidentials.

  Every week, I get at least 5-9 calls every times asking "is ******* there" then it hangs up. It's the same voice/audio recording as my local police and fire fighting fund to which I've asked them numerous times to take me off, I've called the national do not call registry. Every time they call from different numbers. So it's never the same one, I'm annoyed because not only have I asked this to stop on several occasions, but I can't even tell if bill collectors, jobs seeking to employ me, friends. Every time it's then calling me, it's once to twice a day. This is text book harassment and I wish to find out where, and whom so I can politely tell them to stop again, with your help or face legal reprocussions.
