Got a call tonight from this number they said they were calling for Warwick FOP looking for a donation wanted to give me tickets to a comedy show at Roads on the Pawtucket (I have never heard of a comedy show there and my parents live right there on Roads on the Pawtucket) when I told them sorry but no they asked again for $15 telling me the tickets were worth $30 I said sorry no we can not , not right now the guy on the other end was extremely rude and said "Ya ok whatever" as he was moving the phone from his face. SCAM SCAM SCAM SCAM I am so sick of this crap and these calls
I answered this call after ignoring several the last few Sundays. I verified with the Smithfield, RI police dept and it is a legit fundraiser they are doing for the town FOP. I would double check with your local police before contributing though... seems like a generic number ....comes up as FOP not specific to local police dept.
Do not answer the phone. They say they are calling from a particular local police department - often the town where you live. If you agree to give them money - they tell you to leave the check in the mailbox. The other caller said it was a legit call from the Smithfield Police. Totally doubt it. The newspapers in Rhode Island have written about this scam. It think the Smithfield RI poster is on the scam.
