Asked them to send me the info to look over so I could decide on an amount, and the guy told me "that's not how it works" .....lol and I needed to decide NOW!
call from a man with deep voice claiming to be from the police department. I said that it was very late to be calling (8.30pm) to which he replied, "no disrespect, just doing my job, will call another time"
and he knew my name.
They called my parent's house asking for me and wouldn't leave a msg. I called the number from my cell and he didnt even ask for my name before going in for the sell. I said I couldn't do anything at this time and asked to take my parent's number of this list he just said 'ok' and went quite. It sounds odd.
This is not the Police Department calling you for donations. It is a professional fundraiser calling on behalf of a police union or association. The Paid fundraiser can take as much as 99% of your donation. Then they use that 99% to call you again and again and again for more donations that will do no good for your Police Department or anyone else for that matter. Your best bet is to hang up the phone and if you want to give to the police then call your local police department by getting their number out of the phone book. Plenty of info about scams like this one at http://www.pfcl.org/
