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 should have known this charity was suspect when they asked for my credit card number, which I refused to give.
Thank you for providing information on shady organizations asking for donations.
Same here someone called me from PCNY i just told them send a letter then a couple of days i got it but iknew it's a scam i'll just gonna ignore it again and do nothing on the mail
I received a call from 5169862410, claiming to be from the police commission of ny. He was explaining their work as I googled the organization. Then I figured I'd just ask more questions. I asked him to repay the name of his organization and then politely said, I have never heard of this group and that my brother is a detective. He hung up without giving more information. A legitimate organization would have gladly given me more information.
I believe PCNY is a legitimate organization - but to call and harrass a small business 4 times a day with an attitude is not the way to ask for a cash donation. Wondering if who had called us recently and has been annoying us for 3 weeks calling more than 4 times a day is someone posing as PCNY - coming in person to pick up checks and sending photo copied paperwork and fax letterheads that were stolen and are reused for scamming people out of money. Why can't we send the check to the office on the PCNY website? They said NO. I'm not being harrassed into giving $100 for hush money just to leave us the hell alone!
