This phone number is calling to do fund raising for the Idaho Fraternal Order of Police. I have called the number. It directs you to a customer service department that can answer questions, help you donate, or anything else related to the FOP. Also, there’s information on www.idahofop.com. Plus, you can contact them there with any questions or requests.
The FOP is doing a lot of really great things for Idaho police officers and the people that call are trying to help them raise money so they can do even more good.
My caller id shows one of these, too. They called while I was out. Technically these "non-profit" organizations are a legal exception to the Do Not Call list. Because of this I just say no instead of messing around with them like I do the outright illegal telemarketers. I never contribute to them, and I do not recommend contributing to them because:
1. Caller ID signatures cannot be authenticated, therefore one risks giving information to possible scammers with forged signatures.
2. "Non-profit" could be a lot of "expenses" (salaries, telemarketer fees, etc.) with very little going to purported beneficiaries.
3. There is no message left promoting the purported cause. That tells me that they don't want my contribution if it hasn't generated a fat commission.
I too continue to receive these calls, no message. I Googled this number and it is registered to Brie Wetmore, 1407 N 10th St., Boise, ID 83702. I can find no further information on that address or name, other than a listing showing the names of her mother and father???
This is an agency that solicits donations that supposedly go to the Idaho State Police, Oregon State Police or the Florida State Police, etc. I do not know if the money ever gets there; I believe it to be a scam.
