People across the country have been receiving calls from someone or people claiming to be apart of the Fraternal Order of the Police asking for money. The caller claims to be working for Sherriff Rick Beseler. They are giving the advice to immediately hang up and not reply to them because the Police never would call and solicit money over the phone. I believe that people shouldn’t be able to access people’s number as easily. There are many issues like this throughout the world; they are obnoxious, rude and just plain annoying. When they had the “Do not call list” that you could sign up for a few years ago, people thought that it would be the end to their problems. I know personally we still get tons of calls to our house even though we are on that list. I have even started receiving them on my cell phone. This can create a problem for many families, even though it is a job and a source of money for another family. Many people don’t like to be bothered with issues like these, and they can come off as real to some people who don’t know how to handle the situation. Many can be taken advantage of especially if they are so willing to trust some. I know many people would believe that if they were to donate money, it’d really be going to the Police. However if you were to think about it, that’s what we pay taxes for, and get so many silly tickets for.
