Who Called Us

It is a professional call center seeking donations for the Fairfax County Professional Fire Fighters UNION.

Calling for money and continually calling even when i asked them to stop. You cannot report them because they are looking for donations.

Received a call from them. Wanted to speak with my Dad who wasn't here and so said they would call back later.

Trying to sell Nationals tickets as a fundraiser for Police and rescue. we live in Loudoun County... and we support our local stations...I was under the impression that Fairfax county or any local county municipality does not solicit funds by phone??? Is this a scam? They will NOT stop calling even though I registered for the do not call list.

Fairfax County Fire Fighters and Paramedics. OMG donate once and all the County public services call and ask for money! What the hell does my county taxes pay for? They don't take no sorry I can't help for an answer, they just lower the donation. Gosh!

Telemarketer stating he is collecting for firefighters. Upon further questioning, it turns out to be for UNION firefighters, or even THE UNION.

They make themselves into pests every year. I have blocked them, but I know it won't help.

The CALLER is actually a commercial company.

called at 8:50 p.m. machine picked up, but they never left a message.

called at 8:45 pm but hung up when I picked up the phone.

These people have also called me repeatedly despite my requests to be removed from their lists. 10/15/07: impolite caller initially denied that he was a telemarketer and said he would only remove me from the list if I could say what the list was. Unlike most telemarketers who are polite and realize their time is better spent trying their next tel number, he tried to bait me into an argument. I dryly told him that the law requires him to remove me from a list upon my request.

They ask for someone and when you ask who is calling they claim the call to be personl very presonal and hang up, that is extremely unprofessional. Now I know who they are and they won't get donations from this company ever.

If you do reverse look up, the number is out of Manassas - a cell phone, and they are suppose to be professional, I think NOT

Get these people off the phone! They are annoying and irritating. We are on the no-call list but she obviously does not care!!

these people are not legitimate. they've been calling every other day for the last week. at first they were asking for my wife, who has made donations to "official" sounding causes before, but now they just hang up after i answer. i called the # back and got a recording about the Fairfax County Police, Firefighters and Paramedics program(s) , a statement that they are registered with the state (i doubt it) and another # to call for more info. i called 1-800-882-0176 and a guy answered "JESCO" but he denied any knowledge of fcpffandp, said he wasn't involved in any fund-raising or similar activity, and said he was based in minnesota.

These people repeatedly call my business and do not take me off the list, despite repeated requests. They are aggressive pests that make me even less likely to donate to fire & rescue organizations.

My company actually donated $2,000 to them a couple of years back. They are identified as FCPFFP. We NEVER even got as much as a proper thank you from them! They constantly harrass us by changing up the phone #'s on caller ID, and do not respect our numerous requests not to be contacted again. They have been calling us about 3-4 times everyday. They are unappreciative bullies....do NOT give them the time of day, much less a donation!

I received a telephone call on 11-04-09 at 7:30 pm from a woman who said she was representing the "Fairfax County Professional Fire Fighters & Paramedics." The telephone number that showed on my phone was 1-703-656-9988. She was soliciting a donation. I told her that I do not make any financial commitments over the telephone and that, if her organization would send me something in writing, I may consider it. She hung up.

Looking on the internet, I am unable to find any legitimate company associated with this number. Therefore, I believe it to be a scam telephone call.

If everybody would do this, calls from these kind of telemarketers would stop.

yea i just got this call and my parents arent home but she knew thier last name. im just a girl and she asked me if there was a decision maker in the house so i said no and she said shell call back at another time. i got it at 7:35 exasctly. i cant find anything except 4 thiswebsite about the caller id so thx!

ARe they allowed to place solictation calls on weekends and especially on a Sunday Morning?

How make them stop calling?

I have been getting calls from this 'organization' for weeks. I usually just ignored it. On the few occasions when I picked up the phone, no one was there.

I just called the number back and it said to call another number (1-800-882-0176) for customer service. I called THAT number and one of the options was to be put on the 'Do Not Call' list. I just did it, so I don't know if it worked or not, but it is worth a try!

Organizations hire outside companies to do their fundraising for them -- another group handles the state police. They ask for donations and in return have in the past offered to send jellies or jams. They are legit. When I have answered I mentioned that a family member was on the force and that in itself is a donation! Yesterday, they called to wish me a safe Thanksgiving, remember to buckle up and don't drink and drive. My response? -- Thank you very much. It was thoughtful of you to call and I hung up before the person was able to say anything else. I get tired of these phone calls and just screen all numbers I don't know. Unfortunately, we can't block them.

Called, left no msg on my answering maching.

Be sure to know how much funds actually goes to the police, firefighters, or whoever. A fund raising organization like J.A.K. (or "jak") for example (calls from 703-656-9988 might not be from them - I don't know) passes along less than 20% or the organization they say they represent.
