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.
Just got the same National Police call from 203 347-3092. Thankfully there is no such thing as a national police yet. I didn't pick up, and they just breathed and hung up.
Let it go to voicemail. After our answering machine message, person came on, apparently thinking someone live had answered and asked for "Kenneth?", then hung up about 5 seconds later.
