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
Someone representing the FOP just called to talk to my husband. Now I can tell them they actually donate only 25% to charity. What a joke and what a scam! They never got any money out of us. We work too hard for our money and we are not going to give to some scammers!!!
I no longer answer my phone if I don't know who is calling now that I have caller ID, but my favorite call from the NY FOP was when the "gentleman" told me I had given in the past? huh? When I explained that money is tight, he wouldn't let up to the point that he got huffy and a bit nasty with me. So, I hung up on him.
