I hung up from another call to answer call from this number. My caller ID said Newark, DE. I live in Delaware so I answered. It turned out to be a recorded male voice also reminding us to BuckleUpForSafety then asking for donations for family bereavement programs for members of Fraternal Order of Police lodge. I said that we do not give credit cards over the phone and the computer seemed to partially register my response. Voice asked if they could send me a packet in mail. I said yes and then it transferred me to a live person in a call center. He immediately asked which credit card I wanted to use. I said I wouldn't but they can send us a packet. He then asked for the spelling of name/ address and asked that a check be mailed within 5 days of receipt. If this is a legitimate solicitation for FOP programs, they may want to rethink spending money on a computer generated/ recorded voice. Use the cash to do mailings...with all the fraud perpetrated over the phone these days...no one in their right mind would give banking info to a stranger on the phone! I will be checking to see if this is a FOP solicitation.
Local telephone number so I answered in case it was a reminder for appointment. Asked for me by first name. I asked "Who's calling". Went into the spiel about DE troopers want to remind us to buckle up for safety. They are calling for the Delaware State FOP. When I tried to interrupt, he continued talking. So I said since you want to talk over me, Good bye and hung up the phone.
