It IS a scam, an old tired SCAM in fact, amazing you can still find any victims.
NEVER GIVE MONEY on the phone to someone who calls you. NEVER. These crooks pocket most or all of the money. Then they send shills like this clown to try to control the damage sites like this do to their filthy SCAM.
By the way, if you pay taxes, you're already supporting the police. Why not call them and ask if this kind of phone call is real?
CID: FRAT ORD POLICE
First time I'm getting this kind of call. I didn't answer, they left a brief message saying something about "charitable corporate donations"
Fraternal Order Police? Doing a charity drive? please, my husband and I have verified with 4 different police officers we happen to know and they have all said that neither the police nor the fire department are authorized to ask for donations over the phone. These scammers are a big bag of FAIL.
