Caller ID displayed as " Unknown Name", following by an unrecognizable number. I let it go to my answering machine to screen the call. They didn't leave a message. I dialed back the number, remained silent on the line, and encountered a Spanish recorded greeting. Rough translation: "Yes...Thank you very much for calling again. My name is Brenda Portillo, calling for the Fraternal Order of Police Texas State Lodge." It went on to say that they just initiated their fundraiser for residential programs. I then hung up.
It seems this is another number belonging to the Fraternal Order of Police Texas State Lodge, a "non-profit" organization with questionable practices.
