Who called from 3012320057

It was FOP.

Just got a call from this number this morning (21APR2012 - 9:50am est), answering machine picked up, no message.

I just got a call this morning 4/21 too. I think he said Fraternal Order of Police, which would be legit. BUT... years ago I was scammed by an organization with an exceedingly similar name and logo, whom the police dept (I called them) denied any relation to. I reported those people to the State Attorney General, after the guy threatened me for not renewing my pledge. So when today's caller admitted he was not truly the FOP but an agency hired by them for the fund raising,  I became suspicious, and said I would rather donate directly to the FOP. He hung up.
My motto: Don't trust anybody!!!! You can always donate on your own, without solicitations.

Thank you so much for sharing, because they tried the same thing with me this morning. A scam is a scam. I wish they would just stop it.

By the way, to continue the previous thread, you can report them to DoNotCall.gov:
