This is s new number for me as well and I'm bothered by a huge number of telemarketers.  I suspect it is either the firefighters or FOP.  If this is the case, the groups get only 10 to 15% of the money given.  The rest goes to the telemarketers.  A firefighter told me 10% and the latest telemarketer admitted they got only 15%. Of course, it could also be an annoying political push.  I never answer unknown numbers or numbers who won't identify themselves and that seems to be the only way to get these vultures to back off.  I am curious as to who it is if anyone out there knows.
