(510) 686-8917

Phone rang, I picked up and got silence. Knowing it was a robo-dialer, I ***g up.

510-686-8917:  California PALHere's the deal:  why do you guys (speakers for Cal-PAL) think it's ok to call people you don't know at random times? I pay for my phone line for MY use at times of MY choosing. The day YOU pay for my phone line is the day you have the privilege of calling me at your pleasure. Until then, don't be surprised that you'll never see a dime from me. And I'm not even bringing up the ****** business practices of the business fronts of companies that supposedly are "helping" kids.

I have called and left a request to put me on thier do not call list, yet my phone still rings several times a week from them.  Lately, I wait to talk to somebody and the system ****s up on me.  Weekend, middle of the day, night time, all the time I get called.  I will have to file a complaint with the FCC.

It's a shame that if you make a donation, you get put on a "****er list" that gets sold between various organizations, and they all call. This totally ****s my desire to donate to a cause. I have had to fight off countless ruthless charities that all call nonstop, at LEAST twice a day, asking for donations.Tactics of these organizations to sell their ****er lists to eachother has made me resolute in never donating to a company that calls me.

The woman was very rude on the phone and asked for my husband.  I asked what this was concerning and she ***g up on me.  I do not like this kind of activity no matter what kind of good organization this might be.  This is a very bad way to go about business so don't call us anymore.  Cal Pal upset our whole house!!!

Calls - No Answer - Dead Line.

I have donated money to them in the past. But when I was no longer able to do so due to a layoff, they still insisted I could afford at least $10.00. When he kept insisting I told him,"you come to my house, with two other officers, your police ID's, in a offical police car and in uniform, and I will dig up the $10.00. After arguing with me another five minutes he said, "Ok, I'll be there in the moring". My husband and I waited all day and he never showed! LIMA-TANGO-PAPA is absolutely correct. BEWARE.

They call my number every weekend, and then they ***g up…All because I told them not to call me any more and that was over 6 month ago.

CALLED 8:40 PM...I ANSWERED AND THEY ***G UP.

I just received a call from the same number and they ***g up on me after listening to me say*****o about 4 times.

You can contact the FCC about these phone calls. I would recommend that you be on the "Do Not Call" list and also answer the phone telling them not to call you a***n. You can file a complaint online.

shut up man, you're probably 50 then if you're writing that.  being on the do not call list should include this kind of "cause."  they should be fined.  they've called me a dozen times too.

It's easy to complain...but what have you done to help your local kids??? Facts right off the website, about 5 mins of research, would of given any of you this info...check the facts before you **** up with untrue negative remarks...The facts:California Police Activities League is a 501 (c) 3 non-profit organization that has been helping prevent juvenile crime for over 36 years.  Over 300,000 children are enrolled in 125 Chapters across the state of California in vital sports, educational and youth activities year round that are free.  They have little to no help from the government and rely solely on the public for contributions to keep the programs going.  We all know how bad gangs are getting in California, and it has a lot to do with the kids not having anything better to do after school (which is the peak hours for juvenile crime 3pm-7pm).  Pal is no longer with a 3rd party telemarketing company, so they do the fund raising themselves.  A larger portion of the money goes directly to the kids because of this.  The average percentage of a donation made to a charity that actually goes to the cause that has a 3rd party doing the calling for them is 15%-18%.  When you donate to California PAL, 64% of your donation goes directly to the children.  The most recent fiscal statement is available if you ask them to have it.  The old one is what is posted online from 2006 (when there was a 3rd party involved).  Also, many people are confusing California PAL with California cypc.  California Police Youth Charities is a scam.  They have been misrepresenting PAL  tricking past supporters that they have merged together and PAL no longer exists.  They have even been recently caught using PAL's caller ID display with a disconnected call back number.  Do not be fooled.  They work with Telcom, a 3rd party that gets most of the profit, and little money goes to the cause.  The calls people have been getting and there is no response at the other end is due to the automatic dialer Pal is using.  There could be a delay once you answer the phone with when you are connected to the representative.  If you don't give the dialer the opportunity to connect and just **** up, it will automatically code it as a call back.  Thats how all automatic dialers work.  If you really want to be taken off the list, simply wait a few extra moments to be connected and tell them politely not to call.  People are stressing over a phone call, when if handled appropriately can be an easy issue to resolve.  Just remember, the inconvenience it may have caused you is minor compared to what could help prevent youth violence.  It saves children's lives everyday.  People need to be more informed of that.Also if you call this number back and leave a 30 sec message stating you wish to be removed from the call list...it will happen within 24 hrs... must be pretty boring out there to get so up set about such an awesome cause??

Yup i got this number on my caller id and no message on my machaine,so i got su****ious and decided to look it up.and havent foung anything legit on it yet!

Called and ***g up at 8:45 at night! Same thing as everyone else: a recording of BS.  They're not legit. I know at least 100 police officers personally, (no, not from them arresting me, lol) and this is bogus.

ITS PROBABLY "CALIFORNIA POLICE ACTIVITES"   "PAL"DOES NOT MEAN ITS LEGIT...BEWARE ANYWAYLOCATED IN HAYWARD CAL...510 AREA..YOU CAN LOOK IT UP ..CALL THEM TOMORROWAND B***H THEM OUT...IF YOU WANT

I answered the phone but there was no immediate response.  I didn't give the system time to connect.  I ***g up so I don't know who was actually calling.  I only suspect that it was a computer generated call.

Called, left no message Caller ID said California PAL
