This is a total scam. The company that handles these calls for donations takes a huge cut of your contribution. There are better ways to contribute to police associations.

THIS PERSON TOM BRADSHAW(SO HE SAYS) KEEPS CALLING MY NUMBER BUT NEVER LEAVES A MESSAGE.  HE SAYS HE IS WITH THE TEXAS HWY TROOPERS

I am on the National Do Not Call list so I do not know why they can keep calling.  This is not the only number I have received calls from.  Usually I am not home, or am busy and can't answer the call.  When I do, no one answers. How and why can't this be stopped?!

yea they called here 5 times back to back... my kids ansewerinf taco bell how can i help u

They just called me and asked for my maiden name, I just replied, "you have the wrong number" Hopefully that will be the last call.

I want these people to stop calling my phone number looking for my ex husband's ex wife!

I keep getting calls from J Howard @ 218-209-9683.  Have no idea who this could be

THIS PERSON KEEPS CALLING MY NUMBER BUT NEVER LEAVES A MESSAGE AND I DO NOT ANSWER PEOPLE I DO NOT KNOW.

I've been getting calls from these Houston numbers for a long time. They always have a man's name in the caller ID. Most of the time, the caller hangs up when I answer. One time, the man asked for me by name. when I asked who was calling, he got really rude with me and hung up on me! I know they are calling from the Texas State Trooper donation center. I've donated in previous years. I won't donate again. These guys are pushy and rude. I can't figure out why they call and hang up though....

Does anyone know why they never answer the telephone?  Why they are calling and hanging up?

I get a call from this number who is Jose Reyna 281-209-9695 and also another from 281-443-0474 M. Martinez. Both same voice. Can't tell me what they are calling for.  I believe it is a scam and if they are calling you don't give them any information.

this number calls my home, addresses me as Mrs.  then I say I'm not here as I do with all I don't know, he then asks for my deceased husband by first name, when I ask H. Wilson who this is and what he wants, he states I will call back at another time.  He repeatedly refuses to tell me why he wants to talk to my dead husband or me.  Just keeps saying he will call back when we're at home.  He wouldn't shut up long enough for me to tell him, I knew he was a scammer as Kenneth had been dead for 10 years and never even lived at this number much less in this town.

THis person called my house yesterday.  I didn't answer.  He calls back today and asks for (name).  I said "who?"  Her repeats (na - aaame).  I said.  "Um, No..you've got teh wrong number."  And he just starts laughing.

The caller asked for me by name.  I asked "who's calling".  He said "Joseph".  I said "do I know you". He said "no". I said "then why are you calling?" and he hung up after playing a shrill tone in my ear.

This number was on my caller id. no message. name H. Wilson

Called me Sat. afternoon.  I picked up phone and no one would speak so I hung up.  Called back blocking my cell # and let it ring for 3 mins. till someone picked up phone then hung up.  Phone has been busy on my numerous call backs to this number.  Phone number is in Houston, TX.  Same caller ID:  Wilson, H.  Guess I'll put them on my list to call at all hours of day and night....this can work both ways.

Hello

Hello

281-209-9683  Howard J  phone rang twice and they hung up.  Isn't anyone I know.

Have answered several calls over the past three days from this number and closely related phone numbers (281-209-xxxx).  This one shows up as "Gomez, J," but have also gotten others with same basic format (Last name, First initial). Traced this # to 3040 FM 1960 E in Houston -- no doubt a phone bank for "charities."  Every time I've answered these calls, I've told them to TAKE US OFF THEIR CALLING LIST.  Jerks.

This number has shown up on my caller ID for several days now.  Not answering and they leave no message.  Caller ID comes up as Wilson, H.

As a followup to my previous post, follow this link to a report by KPRC television in Houston about the Texas Highway Patrol & Museum and the donations they seek by phone.http://www.click2houston.com/news/17266242/detail.html

This guy does identify himself as Tom Bradshaw.  He always asks for my wife because he is seeking donations to the Highway Patrol Association and Museum and my wife donated last year.  I could find out very little about this organization at the time, ggod or bad, my wife and I agreed not to make further donations.  I told Mr. Bradshaw about our decision but he keeps calling back to talk to my wife.  If he does, in fact, represent a charitable organization, he does not have to abide by the "No Call" lists but I will give him a piece of my mind the next time he calls.

Tom again asking for a donation to the emergency Hwy police fund.  I  ask the purpose and he says to help families of fallen hwy. police.

Jose called me several times. I don't answer cuz don't know a Jose Reyna.

This man was rude and the number displays as Jose Reyna. He left mssg to call back and when you do it's a continuous busy tone. I wouldn't donate anything to the highway patrol anyway!!

this is the texas highway state patrol and they call to find supporters for some cause they are working on.

I am getting calls from this number - shows up as "Howard J".  Started getting calls yesterday - 5/4/2010 from that phone number.

I got a call and the caller hung up with the caller ID showing the Tx Hwy Patrol.  Goggle search shows it's a phone asking for contributions.  The DPS has three associations which is made up of troopers and other certified officers with DPS.  The first and oldest is the Department of Public Safety Officers Association, which provides lawyers, troopers in need, like medical bills, and life insurance.  The DPSOA was formed around 1975.  The DPSOA allows all commissioned officers to be a member.   Therefore, a captain, lieutenant, and sergeant are members. The second association is the Texas State Troopers Association, organized around 1985.  This association also provides lawyers, assistance to troopers and insurance.  The TSTA was formed because of the conflict of interest during disputes between troopers and their supervisors.  DPS supervisors are not allowed to be members of TSTA.  In 1990, the executive director of the DPSOA, who is not an officer of DPS, was caught stealing funds.  He was prosecuted and fired by the Board of Directors of DPSOA.  Later, he formed the Texas Highway Patrol Association because phone solication was so great in obtaining monies from honest persons wanting to help troopers.  THPA does have members who are troopers, but they do not know the true about what happen twenty years ago.  DPSOA and TSTA are good and honest assocations made of DPS officers.  I know, I was on the board of directors that fired the dishonest executive director. I am also a retired DPS officer.

keep receiving calls every day from this # . want them to stop.

I got the same phone call from this number.  The caller ID said "TX HWY PATROL" and the man on the phone asked for a charitable donation for the families of officers killed in the line of duty.  I will also call the Department of Public Safety in Austin.

281-209-9676 called my number but didn't leave message on my phone recorder. I became concerned that it might an emergency call because the caller ID reflected "TX HIGHWAY PATROL". Multiple attempts to redial the caller were repeatedly met with a busy signal. I just remembered that in Texas, our highway patrol is called "TX Dept of Public Safety" or "DPS". This might be some sort of non-affiliated charity scam.

tom bradshaw calls leaves no message, when i call him back the phone is always busy for hours or it rings an rings know one ever answers

Man calls and asked for my husband by name.  I asked his name, Paul.  We know a Paul so I gave my husband the phone.  Paul wanted money for Police Officers families.  Not affiliated with 100 Club.  Gave us website address, we never checked it out.  Please be careful.  Donate to honest people.  Let's see if Paul calls back...

constantly calls

No answer.

Tom Bradshaw actually answered, but then said he had the wrong number ???Who is he and what does he want? Tried to return the call, tried over a period of 4 hours, always busy signal...

Cell tracer says it is a landline located near the airport in Houston, Tx??

Had my hands full with a kitten when this person called.  Left no message on machine.

no message just a call

phone calls with no one on line when picked up.

Tx hwy patrol

Unlisted number in Westfield, TX near Houston.  Calls every 10 - 15 minutes on my cell phone.  Annoying beep about every 5 seconds.  It is probably a fax machine, but it does not begin with the normal screech they do.  I called the number which answers like a fax machine or modem does.
