Called on my cell phone - not sure how he got the number. Claimed to be representing the Canadian Police Associating requesting donations for bullying/cyber bullying prevention. Said no twice and still pushed the issue! Then wanted donations of $ 45 - $ 55 minimum. I don't think so!!
I got a call on my cell phone. Man claimed to be a cop with the last name Smith. Asked me for donation towards anti bullying program. I said I was not comfortable providing financials over the phone. Then tried to convince me otherwise again. I asked for a website so I could look into this and he said it was cops for kids .com. Ya right? Wouldn't let me get a word in edgewise. I asked where he got my number he said couldn't tell me. I told him to remove from the call list and to not call me again. He was very persistent and was standoffish when answering my questions. I don't believe it was the real deal because if the actual police were calling they would take the time to ease my concerns and not just brush me off like this man did. Don't fall for it. This is how scams happen.
This number has called several times every day and I have not answered. I finally answered it a few minutes ago and asked who was calling. (I did not confirm who I was). It was the same call as Mrsla had (above) a policeman "Cops for Kids" wanting donations. I think it is probably a scam - the phone number seems to be from Brandon, Manitoba. I asked him not to call again - some calls come as early as 8 a.m. - but I doubt if that will stop them!
