I received a call from a live caller in a boiler-room environment who asked for me by name but had trouble hearing my response. He then switched over to a recording giving a sales pitch. This seems to be a way to get around the anti-robocall regulations and conveniently makes it impossible to request that the third-party telemarketer stop calling.

The recorded sales pitch was for the National Police & Trooper Association, who claim to support the families of fallen police officers. They're actually a nonprofit, but they're not a charity: it's the International Union of Police Associations, AFL-CIO, and according to their filing with the Utah Division of Consumer Protection, zero percent of the money the collect actually goes to the program. Additional research shows that the Tampa Bay Times named them one of America's worst "charities": http://www.tampabay.com/americas-worst-charit ... ciations-afl-ci

Got a call from them tody, but, I have caller ID, which is well worth the money. I never answer calls I do not recognize. Isn't there something we can do to stop all these calls?
