(602) 278-4235

The company is Brent Wyatt West.  Their Phoenix number is always busy but their Tucson number works.      (520) 868-6399Also, since they are soliciting on behalf of the Arizona Highway Patrol Association, it is a good idea to contact the AHPA directly and complain about their rude tactics.  I emailed the AHPA and let them know that until I did some research on the phone number I was angry at the AHPA for being so rude and I also said that not everyone who receives a rude call will do research so this company could potentially be tarnishing the image of their organization.  I'm sure if the AHPA receives enough complaints they will look for a nicer company to assist them with obtaining donations.  If a rude person calls and only mentions they are collecting FOR an organization (as opposed to on behalf of) then most people will assume that they are from the organization, not from a different company.  AHPA Media/Public RelationsPublic Safety Authority MediasStacey [email protected] can also send a message to the AHPA via the link below:http://www.ahpa.com/contact-us

I did a search on Associated Highway Patrolmen of Arizona and found this page.I received a call from 602-252-4635 Caller Id lists it as Brent Wyatt WessSame solicitation. i had told them i would donate, because I have a business and they where going to list it in their directory, happen to talk to someone about it and they told me it's a fraud.  Highway Patrols do not do phone solicitation. So when the fedx guy showed up I said put return to sender on it and he said no problem and sent it back. Today I received a bill in the mail from the SOB'S I am doing my research and going to find out everything I can then I am sending them back the whole envelope bill, everything with a return receipt, signature required.  Before I do that I am going to call the number on the letter and see if I can find a supervisors name so i  can address the letter to that person. Then I am going to write a "nice" letter to them with cc: my file, cc: my lawyer These people are scam artists, so far I have found that the organization is owned by two attorneys and that they recently changed their name, I think this is bogus information because it is listed on a directory I think they just filed that with the directory so people will think they are legit because they claim to be lawyers.  I will dig deeper, next is to contact the better business bureau and the Arizona Highway Patrol itself. I had gotten a call back from the original solicitor and he asked why I had returned the envelope I told him because I was told the Highway Patrol doesn't do phone solicitation he started to get snippety with me so I said take me off your list, Thank you and hung up.  Then he sent me the bill. I will not rest until I get to the bottom of this.

The call today to our business was almost identical to the prior report, including "Mr. Kusch" being coy about his business. The AHPA web site says nothing about any fund-raising campaign, so if he calls back, he will not be put through (though it'd be funny as hell to hear the CEO give him 35 minutes of advice on how to run his life, which is what he usually does with cold callers).

Received a call at my business asking for our president.  He said his name was Mr. Kusch and he was from the AZ Highway Patrol Association.  He would not say what it was regarding.  Before I relay "fishy" phone messages to our President I do research. I found this and decided that it is more than likely some type of scam or solicitation. Wish they would just STOP already!

I just received a call that came up on Caller I.D. as from a Wes Brent.  He identified himself as representing the Arizona Highway Patrol Association which is seeking contributions to their cause.  I politely interrupted him by saying that we don't contribute over the phone...he replied that they are not asking for anything right now but if we give him our address they would mail the information out.  I then said that we are not in a position to give anything right now...and he rather rudely said, "Is it something I said."  I replied no we just cannot contribute right now....and he hung up on me in mid-sentence.Gotta be a scam...as a legitimate police or fire organization would have been much more professional and would not just hang up without saying thank-you.

I also received this phone call and what made me think this is a scam was when I told him that I couldn't contribute right now, he said, "You don't have to contribute right now, it's in 2 weeks, so how do you know you can't contribute?" I told him that we are looking for employment so I KNOW that I can't contribute. He continued to try to argue with me about my finances. It was then I realized that the Highway Patrol wouldn't push me like that to make me contribute, so I hung up on him. I, too would like to see an investigation.

I got the same call, allegedly from the AZ Highway Patrol Association. When I did a web search on the West Roosevelt address given on the forms sent (where I am supposed to send the charitable donation) the Brent-Wyatt Printing Company came up. Also I found an Alcoholic Information and Treatment Center at the same address (no suite number given) in Phoenix. I cannot find websites for either of these two businesses. I also cannot find any information on the Arizona Highway Patrol Association website about charitable donations or phone numbers. Therefore I conclude that the phone call is some sort of scam and I am not going to send in a donation. By the way, I did not like that the fellow soliciting donations told me they accept donations either in the $25 or $100 category. Most organizations I contribute to do not only accept two levels of donations. If this is a scam operation, I would sure like to see it investigated.

The caller is soliciting donations for the "Associated Highway Patrolmen of Arizona." They then send you a form so you can send your donation. there is no web address on their mailed information but a google search returns AHPA.com. I couldn't find their information on the charity navigator web site.
