757-512-6328

Fundraiser

Called back as they left no message (which seems to happen with them all of the time, several calls a week from them) and it said thank you for calling their fund raising information center and that one of their non-profit organizations had called me.

keep on getting calls from these people i do not answer it so i dont know what they want so i guess i will never know i thought i was on the national do not call list so much for that one

Who ever this is, they call several times a day and leave no message.

called by this number Dec. 18th at 4.26 pm. My caller ID said "local number" but I knew the area code wasn't local so didn't answer.

Another scammer saying they are collecting for the police benevolent society or some such. The problem is that we are in the county so we have a sheriffs dpt so I knew something was up.

They call almost eveyday. I pick up the phone. Then I do not answer and hang up right away. They keep calling.

repeatedly receive calls from this number.  757 512-6328 is always accompanied by the words local call.  wish it would stop.  last received call was just a few moments ago at 12/20,  2:34pm

Called back and the greeting was, "Thank you for calling The Fundraising Information Center."

Call several times a day, last one a few minutes ago on 12/23, Sunday evening, for gosh sake.  They ask for me, but can't pronounce the name correctly, then it's another request for a police benevolent society or something.

Constantly calls our number will not stop calling

Any body want to get together in a class action law suite against this.

My email address is az33338888@yahoo.com

I answer the phone with this message,
"This house hold does not accept calls from telemarketers.  If you are a tele m please hand up and do not call again."  They hang up on me and continue to CALL, Call, call!  They are driving me NUTS! If a class action suite can be done, by all means, let's do it.

These folks are DRIVING ME NUTS.  I've asked, told them not to call and they STILL do.  over and over and over!

They call at least once a day, and never leave a message. The caller ID says "local call", but the 757 area code isn't local to me!

A million other places, and the Fraternal Odor of Police here in VA.  I found out this morning when one called while I was blissfully dozing.  MPI is known in AZ to hire felons and under 18's for its call center.  This is likely the source of their high-quality brand of customer service.  They generally pay between $7-$9/hr. and you can apply in person!

A few years back, I had one tell me that if I didn't donate, he would send the cops around.  I cackled, and hung up.  When I saw they had recently said that to someone else, I figure this information should come to light.  Call them, let them know what you think of these practices, and the practice of "diverting" money destined for charities into their own pockets.

It's very hard to say how much of the money is stolen.  This one says only 15% of collected money is donated.  http://www.oag.state.ny.us/charities/pennies05/2005%20Pennies.pdf

This one says only 10%.  http://www.secstate.state.nc.us/2007%20CSL%20Annual%20Report%20Combined.pdf

These writings by an employee mention a rate of 6%.  http://www.writing.com/main/view_item/item_id/713475

This one says 5%.  http://www.cfcmetrodenver.org/home/OtherLinks ... licitations.pdf

This is certainly a scam.  Get 'em, Internet.

Same thing here, At least once a day. They don't take no for an answer either.

We have caller id for a reason, and this company's repeated attempts at contact is reason enough to justify it!  They call a least once a day, and now I've begun picking up, but just leaving the line open for a while until they--supposedly--give up.  Very annoying, and probably legally actionable at some point.  I have a couple of attorneys in the immediate family, so will check with them to see what they can offer in terms of advice.

I have had 2 calls today from 1 757-512-6328, one call they said nothing, caller id said a local call. this get old quick.
