This number is likely a scam. They called my mother and addressed her informally by her first name without introducing themselves, leaving my mother to initially assume that it was a personal call and answered. The woman and man spoke Spanish, and told her that they were affiliated with the LAPD or some police department and were asking for 10 dollar donations. They said they would mail her an envelope to collect the money, and the lady had my mother's full name and address on file.
I called both the LAPD and the Better Business Bureau to confirm their legitmacy, but both deny having record of this being a legal affiliation, and the police department doesn't solicit money via calls. The number is tracked to the Stockton, Atwater, and Merced locations.
