I have recieved calls from this number for over a year now. They have identified themselves from Fraternal Order of Police, Firemens Fund, National Police Association and I can't even remember what else.  My husband went as far as telling them that I died, and they still called back the next day and asked for me! I am a Police Officer and I informed them that I knew this was a scam, that I was going to report them and file a harassment complaint...the guy got an attitude with me and said "ooooh we will be calling back then!"  Guess what..the jerks called back the next day and everyday since.  I called the phone company, they said they can't block it and that I have to hit #57 after I hang up from them and then file a report with our local police department. Then ATT will attempt to contact them, but the number does come up as disconnected, so I don't know how that will happen.  My next step is to get one of those REALLY loud air horns and blast that into the phone as soon as he so chearfully asks for me like we're best friends!

The person on the phone identified themselves as being from Make-A-Wish Foundation.  I told them I donate anonymously and never over the phone.  They continued on until I had to cut them off and hang up.  I contacted MAW and discovered they do not solicit over the phone.  I received two more calls from the same number after telling them no and hanging up on them.  Smells like scammers.

To EVERYONE who was called from this number,
This WAS my fax number for 10 years, then it got CLONED. I am sorry it was used by some criminal in this way but it absolutely was not myself or anyone in my office or connected with my practice. As a result, I have since had to change my fax number and again I am sorry for your and my own inconvenience. Dr. Robert Gerowitz

Just got the call and played along. LOL  Today they were Make a Wish Foundation. Once I told them that I would make a pledge, they said that they wouldn't call me until the end of the year next year. So they will send in paperwork, and I don't have to do anything with it. Maybe that will keep them from calling. They won't stop any other way.

I will not be making a payment to them, as I don't believe that they are legit. If I want to donate to Make a Wish, I will go thru their website.

Repeating calls just noted 7 in 3 hour period. Submitted a complaint with DONOTCALL.GOV This is a real pain just to avoid the call, Thank God or Al Gore for caller ID.

Thank goodness I wasn't the only one getting these calls!!!!  Makes me nuts!  They called me on Satuday at 7:30 & have called up until 8pm at night!  Anyway we can make it stop>

so my mom gave me this number wanting to know if i knew who it was so i decided to see if i could look it up on the internet and i found all you guys! we tried calling the number back and it says that it has been disconnected.  whoever it is keeps calling us all the time too, we have no idea!

Received call at 5:46 PM on Sunday, Feb. 10, 2008.

We picked up the phone, said "hello," and there was no answer so we hung up quickly.

He called and asked for my mother. Now I have no clue were he got her name from but he got it!

We get these phone calls all the time too.  When I pick up, sometimes they hang up.  If I ask if I can take a message, they don't leave one and say that they would try back later.  I figure if they can't leave a message, it's not too important for us to be concerned.  These people need to get a life and stop harrassing the rest of the world.  If it's for a good cause, they would at least tell you who they are.  I think we should just turn the tables on them and give them a taste of their own medicine and see if they like it.

I answered the phone and they were wishpering they said " I know who you are and i know where you live" then the past 3 times have said they're MAke a wish foundation! we have reported the mto the police.
