Called at 7:05 this eve, said they were fund-raising for Canadian police services for protection of children.

Well they may be collecting or they may be not. All i know is that they're harrassing my house with phone calls that i dont want all times of the day and evening. STOP bugging people with unwanted calls whoever you are. The internet is a useful communication tool and i think its good that we share information this way.

Same company saying for charity. I said if they wanted my contribution to mail ms more information and I'll decide after that. They said no problem but then said we just need you to confirm you will donate first. I said never over the phone will I donate without seeing something first. They finally gave up and said forget it then. How can anyone say this isn't a scam.

Agree, however I have asked that they stop calling, unfortunately this has just increased the # of calls.  Found a feature on my phone where I can 'block' telephone numbers, anyone calling from this number will now get a busy signal, hopefully this will put a stop to the calls.  Check you phone you may have same feature allowing #s to be blocked without paying for the service through your phone provider.

Just got one, they are Xentel - claiming to be collecting charity money for Canadian Police Association community program. They tried to get my credit card # in a sneaky way. When I hung up on them I got a flurry of auto-calls from another # :(416) 646-3133like 4-5 calls. they just wouldn't let it go. Very fishy. I reported them to the Canadian agency phonebusters.comYou can confirm that site via http://www.rcmp-grc.gc.ca/scams-fraudes/tf-ft-eng.htm
