(972) 495-8727

This number has been calling me for the past couple of weeks.  Some of the times it ****s up others it leaves a silent message on my voicemail.  I have tried calling it back and get a fax ma****e sound.

A caller representing Donations for State Troopers requested a pledge over the phone and when I requested printed material to explain their organization, they ***g up.

I got the same call form this number that many people are reporting here. I got to the phone afte about 3 rings, saw the "Statewide Appea" on the caller ID and answered it out of curiosity... No answer, just a click in my ear...I called the number back after reading the entries here, and got a fax ma****e squeal...

I also have received this call numerous times.  The number is listed in the phone book in Garland, TX.  When I received one for sheriffs from a South TX location, I was told that it's a non-profit organization & they can't remove you from a call list.  It is annoying, but if you have AT&T phone service & have the call block feature, you can dial *60 & follow the prompts to add this number.  It's on mine.  :)  However, if it's an 800 number, it won't always work.

I don't have caller-id, but today I received a call from this number (obtained number via *69), and they ***g up on me as soon as I answered the phone.  They had called prior though seeking the 'man' of the house, who wasn't home at the time, so they ***g up.  This is definitely a scam to obtain funds it seems, but then I also question if this could be so****ing more since it seems in more than once case they are seeking a male presence at the number they are calling.  I have friends/family in law enforcement, and I will recommend that you be careful with what info you provide to anyone that calls (i.e. no husband, i live alone, work hours, etc). :)

I saw "Statewide Appea" on my caller ID, so I let my answering ma****e pick up.  Someone proceeded to breath heavily for about a minute or so.  Obviously some joker with too much time on his hands.

Still the same---Statewide appeals on caller ID and the phone just ****s up. Unusual that when I called back there was an answering ma****e with a full mailbox.

972-495-8727  showed "Statewide Appe"  i thought it was a remodeling company .I picked up the phone but said nothing -  they never came on the line.  By the way - if you do this ( no answer just silence ) it fools their auto dialer and it removes your number from the list because the electronics treat it as as a "dead number" -  FYI

Call was the same as others described here.  I told them I don't take telephone solicitations, they (a male voice) said the collect "by mail".  When I asked them to put me on their "no call list", they ***g up.

This  business wakes me every morning. It is cruel and annoying,

It is criminal the way this business annoy honest people!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Got the call from the number too.  We did not pick it up.  After we read this blog, we did the right thing for not picking the phone call up.Gosh, it is way too many phone solicitings.  We decided not to answer any strange phone numbers anymore.I can't believe that we are paying for phone service just for these telemarketers to bug us.

They have called us for the past 3 days, and five times just today!!  They only ask for my husband and I when I said he wasn't home they ***g up as I was in midsentence.. the other times I just let the phone ring and they never leave a message on the ma****e.

They have called my house 3 times a day for the last 4 days! This is ridiculous.

They let the phone ring twice.  I called the number lert on my caller ID. The folowing meassage was received:Thank you for calling the fund raising office.  Unfortunately no one is available to take your call.  Leave your name and phone number twice after the tone and someone will return your call.

I got a call from them today.  I didn't answer, since I saw "Statewide Appeal" in the Caller ID.  They left no message on my answering ma****e.  Seemed to **** up before it could even come on.

I have gotten this call several times and they say they are taking donations for the state troopers.  They are a scam

I just received a call from this number and when I answered all I got was the sound of someone ****ing up in my ear.  There was nothing spoken whatsoever.

I just got a call from that number a few minutes ago, from a "Statewide Appeals" place looking for donations for State Troopers and their families, in case of accident, loss of life, etc. I'm well aware of similar "State Trooper" scams when I lived in *****chusetts.When I told this guy that my son is a State Trooper, (and I didn't say which state either), the guy suddenly s****ed sputtering, went s***chless, and ***g up.
