A Darien person was contacted on Wednesday by a person claiming to be from Alabama and who claimed to be soliciting donations for fallen police officers. When the woman questioned the authenticity of the man’s purported organization, he hung up, police said.
The number, 203-347-3092, came out of Middletown, Conn., and is FREQUENTLY ASSOCIATES WITH POLICE SCAMS, police said.
Sounded like a Fund Raiser for a Police Department. As I was saying no to $100, $75, $50 down to $15 I still could not get an answer out of him as to what town or PD he was representing. Possible southern accent.
Just got this call, Caller ID said National Police, CT area code. National Police sounded pretty suspicious so I let the voicemail pick up. Someone breathed for a second, then hung up.
major call center .. took 15 -20 sec for someone to pick up.. so when they did pick up i did not say anything ...call center looking for something ...I hung up
Static filled, broken sounding line carrying a voice speaking fast enough to be meth head. Claimed to be raising money for "National Police", whatever that is.
