Called at 3:13 while we were at work. No msg. NO NAME on Caller ID, just "Out of Area." One of TWO 'new number' calls, not yet blocked, but will block now. Glad to know what scam this is; always helpful.
This number called my DNC-listed landline today at 1308 hours. I took one look at the caller ID and ignored it. It gave up after four rings, which is usually indicative of an auto-dialer. Just another scam artist.
Received a call on my landline from this number. They left no message but the Caller ID said it was from Patrolmens. Not sure if it is a telemarketer or scammer but either way, I'm blocking this number!
People have reported that this is an automated caller. I will add these facts:
The "402" area code refers to Nebraska. CharityNavigator.org has 73 listings for charities with the name "Patrolmens". None of them are in Nebraska.
Also, at least one contributor kept the caller on the line long enough to find that they claim to be the National Patrolmens Foundation. CharityNavigator.org lists no such entity.
If you want to contribute to the families of police officers who have died in the line of duty, call the local police station and ask what charitable organization they would recommend.
