This is a SCAM!!!!!! They call you and tell you they are a police organization. They are DEFINTELY NOT. This BOGUS number they are calling from is from a PHONY Organization. They are asking for money. Just hang up. Do Not Give them any information. Try to BLOCK this number through your phone company. Remember this is a SCAM!!!!!!!!!!!
Claimed to be taking donations for the police officers foundation to buy bullet proof vests for officers. However I was told my payment was not tax deductible and immediately transferred to someone who wanted payment information. When I told him I'd like more information sent to me, he thanked me and hung up.
Caller stated that donations were used for bullet proof vests and survivor benefits. She could not name any actual person or department that actually received a vest or benefit from the "New Jersey Police Officers Foundation." She also could not name any actual police officer involved in this "organization".
Just got a call from this number at 8:40 pm. First off, he asked for me by my first name (highly unusual--most direct marketer's ask "May I speak with Mr. or Mrs. Jones") he then identified himself as a police officer. I asked why he was calling after 8:00pm (direct marketing laws prohibit calls after 8:00pm.) He said police officers could call until 9:00pm. He tried to go on but I stopped him and told him we already contributed and cut the call off. I do not think he was for real as he would/could not identify what police department/PBA he was soliciting for. As a direct marketing professional--be wary of this one--something is not right.
