    As others have noted, this business is a scam robocall site, that overwhelms you with robocalls, often 10 to 12 times per day. They have several fake causes, but the same structure to each call. If you block their numbers, they simply use different ones; after three weeks of blocking numbers, I gave up. My questionwhat good is government if it is so powerless to stop harassment like this? Simply find the group behind the calls, and shut them down. Then take them to court for criminal fraudwhich should be a slam dunk since they are so obviously misrepresenting themselves.

    I donated money to the organization one time and have been bombarded by robo telemarketer calls from different numbers and different cities. Sometimes as early as 7am on a Saturday and sometimes 7 times a day. Nobody to speak with to take you off the list

    These scammers keep robocalling me from spoofed telephone numbers, and despite my multiple requests and my phone numbers being on both the state and federal do not call lists; they keep calling. There seem to be a whole list of scam PACs; firefighters; paramedics; troopers, etc.

    *** donated to this organization in the past and keep receiving calls. Ive asked SEVERAL times to be removed from the call list and Im told that they will do so and proceed to hang up on me only to be called again by several different numbers. I try calling these numbers back to realize its AI and I cannot speak to a real person. I even went to their website and requested to be removed from the call list twice and Im still receiving up to 10 calls daily beginning at 7am to 7pm. At this point I consider this harassment and feel my only option is to report them to the BBB.

    At least twice a week for the last three months, I receive a call from ***************** representing the National Committee For Volunteer Firefighters. He asks for money for their PAC. I tell him no, and don't call back, and that I am on the Do Not Call Registry. I try to block his calls but it doesn't matter as he just calls back with a different phone number. Yesterday he called from ************. How can I make him stop bothering me? I am shocked he keeps wasting his time and mine as I have told him that I think he is a scammer and that I won't contribute.

    I got a cold call solicitation from this organization this morning from a *********** (612) number. He started talking about volunteer firefighter budgets, and wanted to know if I would donate when I get their envelope. When I asked which party supports firefighters and advocates for their budgets more than the other, he pretended he couldn't hear me. When I asked him if the are a "Left" or "Right" wing PAC, he quickly said he'd put my on their DNC list and he hung up. My intuition is that it is a Right Wing PAC, that is using sympathy for Volunteer Firefighters (who doesn't LOVE THEM and their budgets?) I'm guessing the money doesn't go where they are leading people to believe. I think it's a kind of bait and switch, if it goes into general PAC activities.
