years ago "FOP" in my town would call seeking donations. come to find out, the scumbag company was from another state, and the "callers" were NOT police officers, as they said they were. the "manager" of the phone room was a "CONVICTED MURDERER", out of prison, doing telemarketing. he would troll "teenanon" meetings to "recruit" telemarketers that he could control by telling the parents the kid was "slipping" back into bad habits etc. same scumbag would bring some of his past prison roomies into town, give them some "TAPS"(they always pay suckers) to put some cash in their pockets till they drifted on to the next con. when they call, DO REPORT THEM, this is the only way they can be busted and stopped.
New number for the scammers this autumn. They've used several numbers from this Area Code and others, with the hope of shakin' a few bucks out of your pockets. The Ohio attorney general's office confirms the idea that these are scammers, as the state troopers never raise money by calling people. Plus, my online call-blocking service already had the number blacklisted and intercepted.
