Greg Kirk called and claimed he was calling on behalf of Police Conference of New York. He said he was repesenting this nonprofit organization and asking for a donation. When I asked for his phone number because the person he asked for was out he became very agitated and rude and hung up. This seems suspicious!
I got a call from someone claiming to be representing the PCNY around Christmas time last year. He asked to speak to the owner of the house, by name (probably out of the phone book). My dad's English is poor, so he gave me the phone.
The guy on the other end was extremely fishy. I asked if the charity was tax deductible, and he said no, they were not an 501(c). I then asked him to send me a printed brochure of their organization, and he said they only mail out brochures to donors. this way, they don't give you any evidence to use against them or turn over to the Better Business Bureau or other investigative authorities.
if you get a call from these guys, tell them to eff off. it's a scam.
