I have received 9 calls from these people in the last week and a half. The caller ID says "local." I answered the first call and the man on the line claimed to be representing the Rockland, Mass Police Dept. looking for donations. I told him I wasn't interested and hung up. A few days later they called again. I told them they had already called me and I was all set. Since then, 7 more calls, none of which I have answered. As you can see from the list below, the last four numbers are always different, and they frequently call more than once a day. Sometimes the calls will be only moments apart.
6743--1/6/13; 6649--1/5/13; 6751--1/5/13; 6762--1/4/13; 6743--1/4/13; 6763--1/3/13; 6767--1/2/13; 6763--1/2/13; 6743--12/26/12
I feel these are intimidation tactics. People will be afraid to say "no" because it is the police. I have fallen for this in the past, as I'm sure have many others. I am on the do not call list also. Obviously it doesn't work.
