This phone number is calling to do fund raising for the LA County Fraternal Order of Police Lodge #1. I have called the number. It directs you to a customer service department that can answer questions, help you donate, or anything else related to the FOP. Also, there’s information on www.cafop.org . Plus, you can contact them there with any questions or requests.
The FOP is doing a lot of really great things for LA County police officers and the people that call are trying to help them raise money so they can do even more good.
This number is used for fundraising for the Los Angeles County Fraternal order of Police. We are raising money to help our officers. If you have any questions, please call the number on your call id and you will be directed to our customer service department.
they called tonight, for the first time I think, and I answered not knowing what it was. The caller asked for me by name and when I responded that it was me he hung up. Huh? I was nervous with all the info that is available online so I checked with my fiance who is a cop. He said it's a legit organization. I would have listened to whatever he had to say but they can't raise money by hanging up when they get an active listener. oh well.
These people don't represent the police, fireman or any law enforcement organization. They are set up as a non-profit fundraising unit. What they do is solicit donation on behalf of the police, firemen, etc and after deducting their all expenses such as commission and high executive salaries, what little is left they will "donate". Years ago, I was kind enough to make a donation, they sent a UPS guy over to pick up a check. The next week the same guy calling telling me they are going to sent the UPS guy over to pick a check. I said what check? Well short story is went I refused to give another check, they wrote an electronic check on my behalf without my knowledge and when I found out, the bank said it was too late. Guess I was naive and gullible.
The point is if you want to make a donation, contact the law enforcement agencies. DO NOT DONATE to these people, they are scam artist in my opinion.
They're calling to do fundraising for the LA county Fraternal Order of Police. I have called the number back. It directed you to a customer service department that can answer questions, help you donate, or anything else related to the FOP.
It seems like the FOP is doing a lot of really great things for police officers and their families. These people that are calling are trying to help them raise money so they can keep up their good work.
