This phone number is calling to do fund raising for the LA County Fraternal Order of Police Lodge #1. 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.cafop.org . Plus, you can contact them there with any questions or requests.
The FOP is doing a lot of really great things for LA County police officers and the people that call are trying to help them raise money so they can do even more good.
just freaked me out,i have a really private non-used cell
at 7:30 pm I got a missed call,called back,it had recorded message about LAPD ( los angeles ),and said "its busy" .its prob a scam
but its not cool!
LA FOP FOUND my friend said something like Los Angeles Fraternal Police Foundation asking for donation. They call at least once a week but will not leave any message in my answering machine.
If you have a COMPLETE CHOICE package from AT&T, your line is equipped with Call Screen/ Caller ID. As soon as you see LA FOP FOUND on your Caller ID, do not answer the phone. After it stop ringing or after they hung up, use the CALL SCREEN menu from AT&T by pressing *60 (asterisk 60) and follow instructions. To Turn On CALL SCREEN, press 3. To include the tel. number of the last caller (LA FOP FOUND), press # 01 #. AT&T says if this phone number calls(LA FOP FOUND), your home phone will not ring instead LA FOP FOUND will hear a polite message that you do not want to talk to them. I do not know if it will work or not because I just turned ON my CALL SCREEN feature today. Hope it works.
great advice thanks! they have called many times and i never picked up, and they left no message. tonight i answered the phone, the guy asked "to speak to the lady of the house" i said speaking, so as to spare my wife the hassle. it was a very pushy guy, and when i told him to send the info in the mail, he wanted my address and had a long rap about "how much they support could expect from me" . he kept speaking over me, and finally i told him not to expect anything. as stated in other posts they are from Louisiana, but who knows if it's even a legitimate org. there. no i've blocked them! thanks very much for the info!
There is nothing to prove that the calls are coming from the people who run the website. When I asked them to send me information because I don't give out my credit card over the phone the guy said "Oh! I get it!" and hung up on me... SCAM!
