Someone from a police union called...

[sansei]

:( hi this is sansei and someone from a not named police union called and they wished to speak with my deceased father only i shared with her that my father isnt around and then she asked who i am and told her that im his son and she say's thank you and hung up so im now truly understanding of what my consequence's could be if i disobey the rule's here so i'll behave and wont post in the media thread and if i may only post in other thread's here if it maybe ok with anyone here?

Well thank's for your time:O(

[tutusue]

Sansei...I'd be VERY surprised (shocked would be more like it!) if the call from the "not named police union" has anything at all to do with any of your posts in HawaiiThreads.

Of bigger concern is the caller appears not to have identified herself or the "police union" (Shopo). And the fact that she asked for your deceased dad shows that whatever list she's working off of is outdated.

From now on, if anyone calls asking for your dad and asks who you are, just tell them you're his bodyguard! ;)

[Jim75]

I agree with Tutusue, Sansei.:)

[sansei]

:o hi this is sansei and in response to tutusue,i respect your opinon and thank you.i also phoned the human resources at the Hpd and the lady told me that the person who ever she was was fishing for info and i included that in our neighborhood that their are young youth's riding moped's illegally and she didnt say much and i also shared with her that they have the police helicopter's flying over our home and she didnt say much on this so i've never felt so afraid in my life of this person who called from a not named police union is im now in fear and now i realize how it feel's when i posted in the media thread and i've learned my lesson.

well thank's for your time:(

Sansei, by any chance do you read other people's post on HawaiiThreads?

[sansei]

:( hi this is sansei and in response to helen,i only read the post's i posted or have responded to and that's the truth and i dont read any other member's post and the reason i read where i've responded to or my post is so if someone respond's to my post's,i can respond to them so i hope this may help with your thought's? im doing my best to be on my best behavior here and that's the truth.

well thank's for your time:(

i, too, agree with tutusue. when someone calls for my deceased father-in-law, i tell him/her that he's DEAD. if that doesn't end the conversation and the person asks for my mother-in-law (mom), i tell him/her that she has alzheimer's. they are obviously out of the loop and are fishing. when someone asks, "may i speak to the man of the house?", i say, "SPEAKING!".

[MyopicJoe]

"may i speak to the man of the house?", i say, "SPEAKING!".

lol, you go girl!

:D

[kani-lehua]

:D

that usually shuts them up and ends the call.

:p

====================
The police union does have a current fund raising campaign going on now. I just got a call soliciting a donation. I get a call every year. If you donate money once, then you are a target forever.

The police union does have a current fund raising campaign going on now. I just got a call soliciting a donation. I get a call every year. If you donate money once, then you are a target forever.That's what I was thinking when I read the thread late last night - if it's a police union calling, they are after a donation, or selling tickets to an event, or something similar. If sansei's father contributed even one time in the past, that's how they have his name. Sansei - you needn't worry about anything in this case.

Now that we've (sort of) resolved that, I wonder if sansei would be open to discussing what really makes this a remarkable post: The fact that he assumed that a harassing call was because of his behavior on HT. Sansei, what exactly do you think this place is? It's just a forum. It's just a place to come and talk about "everything," according to the FAQ (http://hawaiithreads.com/faq.php?faq=hawaiithreads_com_faq). It is not an agent of the county government, so no police will seek you because of your behavior here. If you find yourself at odds with the administration, you'll be shown the door, but that happens very rarely and only after repeated intervention. If you find yourself at odds with the participants, then at worst you will be laughed at, ignored, vilified, or shunned, but trust me: None of those things really hurts or matters. Ask timkona. :)

I suspect part of you simply likes attention. I don't judge you for that; the same is true for a great number of us. However, you seem to think you need to resort either to rumor-mongering or endless appeals for forgiveness in order to receive it, and that's getting old. Enough with the sorries, okay? Nobody's going to call you and harass you for your behavior here. I suspect you have interesting things to contribute; let THOSE be the things that get you the attention you crave. 'Cause really. You're not nine.

When I've been called for a fundraiser in the past the caller has always identified him/herself and that s/he is representing SHOPO. Did the caller ID him/herself to you, DNR?

=============
Yes they did. But I told them that it was a bad time for me to donate, as it is with many people, I assume. The caller did not apply pressure tactics.

Sansei...are you absolutely sure the caller didn't mention her name and the name of the organization? If she didn't then, in the future, please do NOT give a caller ANY information. You should either hang up immediately should the caller start requesting information from you OR ask the caller for his/her name, the name of the organization s/he's representing AND the URL. I always say I don't donate via a phone call without first doing research. If you do receive the requested info, come to HawaiiThreads and we'll help you with it.

I received 2 calls a couple of weeks ago, allegedly from my bank, wanting me to participate in a customer service survey. Sounded to me like phone phishing! I declined and called my bank. The call was, in fact, legitimate.

Just this morning I received a phone call allegedly from an attorney's office stating they were collecting for an unpaid debt of $1500.+ and asking for my social security number to make sure they'd reached the right person! Da noive! :D I had fun with that caller! I should've hung up immediately but I was in the mood to listen to her bury herself. She did just that and I never gave her any personal information! She hung up on me! Victory!!!
