This phone number is calling to do fund raising for the New York State Fraternal Order of Police. 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.nysfop.com, you can contact them there with any questions or requests.
The FOP is doing a lot of really great things for New York police officers and the people that call are trying to help them raise money so they can do even more good.
SCAM not a charity. NEVER give these scammers any money. NEVER. You are not supporting a CHARITY and no money goes to law enforcement -- you are enriching the telescammers that call you. It's not even tax deductible because it is NOT A CHARITY is it a for-profit SCAM.
They are likely professional telemarketing fundraisers that are calling in the name the Fraternal Order of Police. Check this link out: http://www.stopjunkcalls.com/2006pennies.pdf
Note the percentage of the amount that goes to the charity is on average about 25% only. Most of the money you give goes to the telemarketing. I just don't answer the call.
Telemarketing = SCAM
