Answered the call but no one replied. called them back to see what it was about and the person on the other side sounded like he was using a script and sounded like he was robotic. Like automated responce to anything I say when I said certain things the responce never made sense.
Fraternal Order of Police. Not a charity but a union. No cop is going to give you a break because you have a sticker on your vehicle. This is a for profit, lobbying group. Don't answer the phone unless you want a fast talking sales routing from a telemarketer.

I got this call a few months ago and when I asked the guy I was talking to if he was a police officer he hung up on me. They just called again but I didn't answer.
This is a SCAM! Checked into and found a number of phone numbers with 'people' claiming to be from FOP. Found out far too much to share here! Just BLOCK them...
If you can prevent it don't let 'Faux Telemarketer' calls roll to your answering machine, voicemail or worse yet answered the call you have just ensured you will receive more of these calls. Maybe not from the same number, but they’ve just identified your number as valid which almost assures more calls. Most of the initial calls originate from software (aka; ‘robocalls’) – once your number is identified as active, then a real person may be there on the follow up calls. If you have the capability to ‘block’ the number that called – that is the best action. If you don’t have a blocking option, keep a phone with caller ID close by and simply hit ‘talk’ and ‘off’ simultaneously. This will reduce the number of nuisance calls, but not stop them! If you really want to block them – in addition to several cordless phones available there is software that a layman can install.
Additionally; The Area Code, Exchange or even the entire number displayed on your caller ID may not (probably does not!) accurately reflect the origin of a call as many of these crooks use software that disguises the originating number.
PS: I think Call Notes should add a 'Call Type' for 'Spoof' or 'Scammer Calls'!
