I really do hate to be the bearer of bad news. I also hate the FOP calls because I donated thru 3 speeding tickets...and didn't hesitate to tell him so, and get this... he rudely hung up on me (broke my heart). However, if you read the site where you register online you will see that the do not call list DOES NOT APPLY to the FOP, or any charity or donation seekers! Nor does it apply to polititions, or anyone you have inquired to, ask about, etc. etc. etc. They added a loophole for just about every "annoying caller of any kind" to jump through!! That was ONE of the first Red Flags to me! I mean if they were really doing this to stop the annoying calls..WHY did they make a path around the law for them?!! You would have to read the site to see what I mean. Yes you can eventually get some or most of them to stop (not the FOP) by requesting it. I have to admit I don't get that many calls. I think they took my name off years ago because when they would call and very rudely go on and on without giving you a chance to get a word in...I would politely say no thank you not interested and hang up...and They would still be talking and not skip a beat!! If I'm feeling ornary I'll stay on the line and irritate them! One of the best ones I do is turn everything they say around, mix it alittle and repeat it to them...they get so upset THEY HANG UP ON ME LOL
