(804) 415-4044

I CALLED (440) 885-8250 AND A WOMAN ANSWERED "MPI".  I TOLD HER THAT I WANTED THEM TO STOP CALLING ME IMMEDIATELY AND THAT I HAD ALREADY CONTACTED THE FTC AND THAT I WOULD HIRE A LAWYER IF NECESSARY TO SUE THEM FOR NUISAANCE CALLS.  SHE SAID, "THAT WILL NOT BE NESESSARY AT ALL."  SHE ASKED ME FOR MY NUMBER AND THAN ASKED IF I WAS THE CERTAIN PERSON (MY NAME) THEY WERE CALLING.  I SAID YES.  SHE SAID THE CALLS WOULD STOP IMMEDIATELY.  WE SHALL SEE.  THE NEXT TIME THEY CALL -- WILL S**** A CLASS ACTION SUIT.

It's the ******ia Fraternal Order of Police.  They call constantly.  I'm so annoyed.

FOP asking for money the caller said they were with J A K Productions

Who the "H" is this?

We have gotten multiple calls at all times of the day from these people.  We are on the do not call list, renewed it and still they call.  I've told them I am not interested and will not send them money.  Still they call.

Constantly being bothered by calls from this number.  How do I make it stop.  It should be my right to have included on  the do not call registry these organizations --  i do NOT want their bothersome calls.

Have avoided answering

They are still at it, called my home today and ***g up on my wife.

8:00 am today Sa****ay!  They called three times yes****ay, no answer, once I answered yes****ay and it was a pitch for the FOP.  No reputable organization would call at 8:00 am in the morning.  Report these yahoos to the FTC!  I did.  Also *** Communications allows you to block numbers and this one is now blocked.

Yep, they called me also.  I just don't answer it.Just because you are on the "DO NOT CALL" list, it does not stop solicitation/donations from any charitible organization.  They do not fall under the guidlines set for other soliciting calls.

Has called numerous times.  States it is a courtesy call on behalf of the fraternal order of police.  Despite telling them yes****ay, I was not interested in donating, they called at 8:15 this morning.

Called 11:30 AM-said local call-though area code was from somwhere else.  I did not pick up.

These people call daily even though we are on the no call list.Think the Gov't sells the no call list to these s*** bags.

This is coming from the Fraternal Order of Police I believe

It's 8:35 pm and it claims to be a "local call."  How can it be a local call if I don't even have the same area code?  It's annoying, but I'm not picking up.  They can keep calling for all I care.

I've gotten a call from this number every day this past week at 8 am, and now they just called a***n. I guess they're trying to get me at the dinner hour now. I wish these ****s would quit calling!!!

This number has called me every morning this week, today (the 11th) seems to be the earliest.  Will not answer now that I know but still want to chew someone out!

I got a call at 8:35 am on January 3rd from these people. I didn't answer since I didn't recognize the number. Boy, am I ever glad I didn't!

9AM call, no one on the other end.  Eventually ***g up.

Keep receiving calls from this crowd early in the morning.  Called back and get a log s***ch about fund raising and if you want to be placed on an agencies do not call list that you must leave your number and the agencies name.

2nd call in less than 12 hours. No message.

Got a call from this number, just now...the dinner hour. I answered "hello" and got a CLICK in my ear. Nothing infuriates me more!!!!!I called the number from my cell phone to double check it. "THE FUNDRAISING INFORMATION CENTER". Irritating. J --Fredericksburg, VA

Received a call from 804-415-4044. Thought it was for a job so I researched the number online and found this site. They didn't leave a message.

Called today - unknown.  I didn't answer.

Called this one back, "Thank you for calling the Fund Raising Information Center!".  You're welcome.  Greets to jfab, and the guy that found me "Midwest Publishing, Inc."  You deliver.Midwest Publishing Inc.

called, left no msg

I called this number back, and the message indicated that it was a fundraising hotline number.
