510-686-8917

They called several times and told about donation.

left empty message on answering machine

Called my home - but no one there when I answered.

Called my home as well and there was nobody there when I answered, however I could hear people talking in the background.

called and didn't answer, also it could be The California Police Activities League.

They just called, and like the previous posters, no messag left on machine and the caller ID came up as California PAL.

Just called and nobody answered after several hellos

As in previous cases they just called, left no message Caller ID said California PAL

Received call... AGAIN... from 510-686-8917.  I answer and nobody is there.  I am on the DO NOT CALL list and receiving calls from this number is getting old.

It was 9:00 P.M. and the phone rang.  I answered it and it went dead.  My caller I.D. said it was from California Pal.  I am on the DO NOT CALL LIST.

I'm on the registry as well, and they called at 8:50 at night!
Hung up on machine.
I'm on a first name basis with over 100 police officers, and no one has heard of these characters, except for calls like this.
Not legit charity as far as I can tell, otherwise there'd be a way to contact them instead of a recording.
Wouldn't give 2 cents to a charity that saved my life, if I knew they were harassing people they didn't know at 9:00 at night for donations!

They just called, and like the previous posters, no message left on machine and the caller ID came up as CALPAL.

I checked this group out by looking at their IRS 990 form on the internet. They are the California Police Activities League located in San Leandro - website http://www.calpal.org/. Their financials show they received $4.450,000 in income and had a fund raising expense of $2.6 million, or 58% of what they collect goes to fund raising. A firm in Texas must be the telemarketer. I will not give to any organization that has over a 15% fund raising expense. They have been around for many years, which is a plus, and they do the necessary financial reporting.

Called at 10:48 AM Saturday.
Caller hung up as I answered,immediately after third ring.

8:22 pm Nov 15. Did not answer. No message. Annoying.They've called several times.
