Caller ID only said Miami, so I'm glad to know it was the FOP.  I am trying to catch them in an actual call and not a voice mail to ask them to take us off their calling list as we are a nonprofit organization.

Called at 9:50am on 12/30/09.   Caller ID showed "FL FOP FNDN,"  I wasn't there and no message was left on my answering machine.  Florida Fraternal Order of Police Foundation collects for a memorial they are building to fallen officers.   They have used a professional telemarketing outfit "Corporations for Character" in the past for fund raising.   I have no idea how much of the donation gets by  the telemarketer and "admin costs," but I would sure want to know before donating.  Professional charity fund raisers in general have a long history of keeping the lion's share of the donations for themselves.

got a call, then the guy hung up on me. dont know who they are.

Got a call around 7;41 from fl  fop fndn
they were not nice just hung up on me

Have gotten repeated calls from this number.  They just hang up.  Very annoying.

This number is a telemarketing company that represents the florida state fop,among other fraternal police orders across the country. The only problem is they keep 70% of what you donate.The police get 30% and most of that goes toward administration and fund raising expenses.The name of the company that calling you is actually CORPORATIONS FOR CHARACTER. How ironic.Your better off saying no to the caller and calling 800-873-9881 and donating direct. NEVERcall an 877# TO MAKE A DONATION.  GOOD LUCK!!

Corporations for character keeps 70%. Read my comments 2/26/10.

the direct telephone number to the florida state fraternal order of police for your complaints about the telemarketing company CORPORATIONS FOR CHARACTER is either 800-873-3671 or 850-656-9881. It's not right for this company to mislead the public. They keep 70% of your donation as their fee which was negotiated with the fl st fop. Call your state representative. When you receive a call of someone asking for donations,ask them do they work for the company or do they work for a telemarketing company representing the company. If they are representing i.e. the fl st fop and you send them 100 dollars they keep 70 dollars. The fl st fop gets 30 dollars which is eaten up by fund raising and administrative expenses. There is no money left over for program expenses. The actual purpose of any charity. I hope this helps. LET ME KNOW   THIS IS M.B.

They  are a scam    ..telemarketing company  ..Keep 70% of $$ donated...

STOP CALLLING PEOPLE  !!!!!

per : http://www.floridastatefop.org/solitician.asp

the FL Fraternal Order of Police no longer use outside agencies to solicit donations.  When this number calls and you answer, the caller attempts to intimidate you into sending in a donation...  don't fall for these scammers

I have been getting calls from this number everyday, since the being of the year.  They leave no messages, and I tried calling back and the number is always busy.  Its such a pain in the ass. If this is a legimate foundation they should be leaving a message, not call 500 times a day.  I actually have not answered the calls, because I wanted them to leave their name so I can call back and complain.  There is a reason why people pay extra to be unlisted to the public.

This company (Corporations for Character) is a real pain. I have asked them several times to remove me from their list ... When I tell them that I have requested to be removed from their calling list, they say, " I'm sorry, I'm having trouble hearing you, let me adjust my headset" ... I hear a click, the caller says, "thank you" and and hangs up. I continue to receive weekly calls ... this past time I contacted the State Of Florida and I emailed the State FOP Headquarters ... I heard right back from them and they advised they would contact the company to remove my name.

This phone number is calling to do fund raising for the Florida State Fraternal Order of Police. I have called the number.  It directs you to a customer service department that can answer questions, help you donate, or anything else related to the FOP. Also, there’s information on floridastatefop.org, you can contact them there with any questions or requests.
The FOP is doing a lot of really great things for Florida police officers and the people that call are trying to help them raise money so they can do even more good.

Get calls regularly from this number. They do not leave messages but call several times per week.

That number is from FLORIDA STATE FOP MEMORIAL FOUNDATION;  If you call that number back you will get a recording which will lead you to having your number put on their DO NOT CALL list.
BTW, anytime I get a call that I do not recognize the number and usually it is some sort of telemarketer including people I do business wanting me to do more business.  I tell them to take me off of their calling list.  Not once has anyone not said "Okay" and it gets done.  So, call them back tell them to take you off of their call list.

over the years have recieved many hundreds of calls from these scammers, a memorial for fallen officers,bulletproff vests,K9 bulletproff vests,youth centers,make a wish type programs, wheelchairs ,physical therapy etc etc are but a few of the scam approachs i've heard over the years
any day any time of day they call, requesting removal from the list just increases the number of phone calls these terrorists make to me// if i'm not doing anything i'll prolong the calls as much as possible to waste as much time of thiers as i can

I would like my telephone number removed from call list. Requested when previously called to be removed from call list; request ignored.

This company calls 3 times a week.  I never answer.  I wish they would take me off their list and stop calling!!

Isn't there something that can be done legally? My number is unlisted and I have it registered on the National Do Not Call list and I make sure to keep it up to date, yet these people STILL keep calling.  I am tired of being nice and asking them to "please remove me from your calling list"....what else can be done? I am FED UP!

After repeated calls, I contacted the Bonneville County (Idaho Falls, ID) Sheriffs office and was advised that "Corporations for Character", the telephone solicitor, based in Murray, Utah, I might add, retains 72% of every dollar donated to the Idaho Falls Fraternal Order of Police. Who would donate to the FOP if the donors knew the percentage going to the charitable organization was so poor?
