3017626650

Called and won't leave a message on the machine or speak with me personally.  I am on the DO NOT CALL list and it's not working.

I recieved a call from:
POL PROTECT FUN
1-301-762-6650
on Sept 2 2009 at 7:10pm, they did not leave a message. I called the number back right away and it was busy, so I then googled it and no longer wish to recieve any further calls.
Thank you

This is like the umpteenth time this dude has called here......for the Police protection whatever it is.  it IS a scam no police are calling for donations.  Futhermore this John Farrell is RUDE and too damn pushy. I told him I was on the other line and he said WHAT'S MORE IMPORTANT?? I am on the DNC list...what the hell is good is it...if I keep getting calls from RUDE people like this JOHN FARRELL

The criminals that use ids like John Farrell, MD COP etc dont know that I am going to hit them where it hurts the most. I am going to hunt em down and put an end to their games. They have no idea who they are messing with.

301-762-6650 called my cell phone.  I didn't answer but I called later and a recording identified the number as the Police Protective Fund.

Hi everybody, i got the call from this number. But i did not pick up so nothing was left on answering machine, so lets call the cops

Hey there it's Arthur, i recived second call from this number today and nobody said nothing. So i went to the Maryland state police and they said that they have several reports already about these calls, i hope it will stop them. be careful friends!

Man asked for "Mrs X" I said 'wrong number' he said, "Doesn't matter anyway, we are calling everyone in Maryland to help the poor widows and children of police officers who died". I told him my sister-in-law is a widow of P.O. and how can she sign up for benefits? He said "the officer must sign up before death". I asked percentage of collected monies that goes to benefits, he had no answer except 'a lot of benefit money is paid out'. He told me "I just work the phones here". I asked for call back number and tax ID number, and told him being a lawyer, I am careful who I give money to. He immediately hung up. I called the number on my caller ID and the answer message was the same voice as the man I spoke to. As far as I am concerned, this is a SCAM until proven otherwise!! BEWARE!

This number repeatedly calls my house. My policy is to never make any donation over the telephone to any organization which cannot demonstrate through public, audited records that at least 70% to 80% of its receipts go to registered and valid charities and causes. I suspect this guy is smart enough to maintain the lifestyle to which he has become accustomed on your nickel.

I've been asking to be put on their do not call list for 7 years and it hasn't happened yet!  Not so simple.

I got the same call from John Farrell.
Just ask for badge number, full name, superior name and organization.
Verify with organization.

Probably he'll just hang up and take you off the call list right away before you can finish ask for the info.

at 6:08 pm January 13 received a call from "Farrell John". Call disconected when I picked up.

POLICE PROTECTION FUND

This is weird and I don't like it.  I don't know what they want, but here is the telephone number, 1 301 762 6650

Called received from this particular number.  ID shows on caller-id, but they only ask for one specific person.

Someone who refused to identify himself called us today from 301-762-6650. He wanted to talk to me and refused to talk to my wife. The caller was rude.

Send them an email to get off their call list:

So called charity or not, If you ask them to take your number off of their list they are obligated to do so.  If they refuse or call again you have a right to sue them in small claims court.  Ask them to send you a copy of their do not call list, and they must under federal guide lines.

All these [***] are related scammers, calling from different area codes including Alabama. If you people have noticed these cowards use a 1800 number to send spam faxes to your phone. Cowards beging their scamming job early in the morning trying to disburb and trap people with their scam. It is time to end their game once and for all but the problem is I dont know where these gutless parasites live. Once I know their locations, I'll take the right move and get them into so much trouble that they wont recover out of it.

How To Stop These Calls
1) Contact your State's Attorney's General's Office, Charity Division.
