They said it was the Wisconsin policeman's fund or something like that. I asked where he was calling from and first he said Wisconsin. When I pressed further he said Oskos ( I assume he meant Oshkosh), I never head of that town and asked what it was near and then a hang-up.

Sounds like a scam!

I know it is a nuisance to get these calls, but if people don't recognize the number why do they answer the call?  Seems to me that if it is someone who you really need to speak with they will leave a message.  The only "junk" call I've gotten that left a message was a recorded Seniors' Medical Alert call.  It takes some discipline to not answer a ringing phone, even if it is a number you do not know.  Took me about a week to learn to ignore them.

Its easy to suggest to not answer the call if you don't recognize the number, when it comes through on the caller ID as from a police department in the area code of 414, and you happen to have family that lives in that area code, it would seem foolish to ignore it.  If one of my kids have been in an accident, I'd like to know about it.  

That being said, I did answer the call, and it was disconnected after about10 seconds.  I redialed the number on the ID, and the message said the voice mail box was full.  Which lead me to this website...I agree, the call is apparently a scam.

Never give donations to a stranger who calls you. Might be a scammer. Might be a legit independent fund raiser who keeps 99% for themselves and sends 1% to the charity. Best to donate directly to the charity so they will get 100% of your donation.

I'm pretty certain that we are not the only people getting this annoying call. Has anyone found anything tangible like what phone company or who the source is so they can be turned over to the authorities?  If so, please post and we can start taking some action.

I asked them to take me off their calling list and he said "why don't you take me off your pick up list"  WHAT THE HECK!

I have been receiving calls from this number (it's always 414-877-5xxx, last 4 digits change).  The reverse look-up says it is Peerless Network of Wisconsin LLC.  When I answer the phone, there is never anyone there.  When I try to call back I get a "mailbox is full" message.  I have been getting at least 3 calls a day for months.  I'm not sure what I can do about this, but I am getting really tired of them calling.  I never answer when I see their number on caller ID, but the phone still rings, sometimes as late at 10:00 pm.  Very annoying.  I'd like to legally report, but I'm sure how to go about that.  Any suggestions?

I quit getting calls from this number about a month ago,and they have started again. I am disabled and it is hard for me to get to the phone sometimes. Can I sue these yo yo's or something, to end this?

Here they come again for another round ----the paid telemarketers, pretending to be police officers, soliciting for the "Wisconsin County Police Association" I don't know if it's a legitimate charity or not, but I DO know where the vast majority of the contributed money goes---right into the pockets of the paid telemarketers! They can call me every day until next Christmas if they like, but they will not get one cent.They have been known to also use other various 414 877 numbers in their efforts to fool people into donating.

Anyone should be able to tell that this is a scam----they call repeatedly, but never leave a message!

These scammers must be some of the most stupid! When they call they only let it ring 2 or 3 times--not enough time for most folks to even get to the phone to answer it. How do they hope to pull off a scam if they don't even get their pitch to people! STUPID  SCAMMERS!!!!!!!

I got a call from this number, 414-877-5700.  No one there and no message.  After reading some of the notes below I had a funny thought.  In WI, Cities have Police Departments and Counties have Sheriff Departments.  How can this be a call from a WI County Police Department group?  Ask for info to be sent out.  Don't give them your address...they got your phone number, so they should have your address as well.  I would suggest giving them a 2 word or single finger salute!

Caller ask for donation for Police department.  This call is a joke.  Please have them reported.

May be a legitimate company, but is NOT the MPD or any other actual police department in Wisconsin.  Donate direct, since most of these companies take HUGE percentages of the donations.

PS: Charitable companies are exempt from "do not call", but this place is far from a "good charity".

Who would report them? This is an information website.
Blocked with Ooma.

Computers dial dozens of numbers at once. If one answers, the others disconnect.

Call from this number with no message left, at 8:30 p.m.

You can block calls from any unwanted parties by going on your phone carrier's website and looking up Blocking Calls.  I think you can block up to 30 numbers - your carrier will give you detailed instructions how to do this, so you won't be bothered by these idiots.

Calls started about October 1, 2013.  Left no message.  When my wife answered on 10-8-13 the caller asked for a different named person, but would not identify himself except he was from "the association."  When my wife pressed him about the name he was asking for, he said, "well, you already know what this is about." When she pressed about who he was calling for, he hung up.  Calling back just gets a voice mail that seems not to be checked.

Buy a Digitone. I went from 3 calls a day to 1 every 3 months. I also have a Panasonic phone with DECT which also allows me to block numbers. Spend the money, or deal with it cause the gubbmint dont care!
