The Calgary police and the Calgary Police Foundation have received numerous calls about rude and aggressive telemarketers, soliciting funds for youth activities.
In a statement, both organizations said they never contact the public by phone to raise money.
The Calgary Police Foundation is a not-for-profit which raises money for youth programs that aim to keep kids safe from crime through education, prevention and early intervention.
