      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 donated 40. To national police and troopers association, and in return they call me five times a day for the past eight months. Can you please make this stop this? The only settlement I want is to be left alone. **

      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.

      I am the *** for *************************. I have canceled other donations from her to this alleged organization previously, requested removal from all mailing and calling lists. Last time, they ran her debit card somehow saying she was in CA when she was at home in VA to get a payment. I just received a mailing that says she has donated another $20. I called the number on the letter ************ and got voicemail even though the message says it's within business hours. I left a message with the sponsor confirmation number to cancel and stop calling and mailing her, once again. I expect this donation to not be processed, her address to be removed from any future mailings, and for this scam to leave her alone. I am copying this to send complaints to the *** as well as ************************* in CA. I am happy to answer any questions so feel free to contact me.

      There was a one time donation in which I told the person there will be further donations. Now I these robo calls from different numbers throughout the day and it's harassment. I will keep record to file a civil case for harassment.

      "****" from the national police and troopers association won't stop calling me. This is a robocall soliciting money allegedly to support the police, but a quick ****** search will quickly reveal it is a scam. Almost none of the millions of dollars they collect actually goes to any cause other than their own pockets. I have asked them not to call, I have blocked their number (they just call from a different number), and I am registered on the Do Not Call registry but the calls don't stop.

      This business calls me from random numbers multiple times a day. I have requested over and over and over to not contact me any longer. I donated to them a few years ago and the calls continue to come by an automated caller. They wont allow me to speak to anyone and I call back to select the option to remove me from the mailing list multiple times. At this point it is harassment and I am on the do not call list. Please make it stop!
