Solicitation call wanting money to upgrade police training. I was asked if security threats are worse today then in years past. I answered not necessarily. She told me (without missing a beat) that with my donation, police training could be improved.
Told her I was uninterested and she launched into a second subject about child abductions and how a donation there would be helpful. I asked about the amber alert system already in place but she just kept on talking.
I put the line and hold and let her roll on. She clearly wasn't listening to a word I said anyway.
You can call this number back. You get a recording by a very effiminate male voice telling you to call another number to get more info to make donations.
I've received at least 8 calls from 240 560 2625 and my phone reads "MD Cop." I do not pick up the phone, because I do not recognize the phone #. Each time, there is radio static. I am glad to have found this site. It sounds like we are being solicited by a telemarketer.
In my previous home, I received multiple calls by a telemarketer asking for money for a fire fighters.
I am on the Do Not Call list. While police officers and fire fighters have special job descriptions, I do not like getting these kinds of calls in my home.
These solicitors should be banned by the DNC criteria.
Google has NO listing for "American Chief of Police Association". That tells you right there it is a scam. Probably just like the "Police Protection Fund" was...
