I just got a call from this same place cops for kids. When I told the caller on the other end I wanted to check into it a little more before I gave them anything he said well we have all your information said my name gave me my address city and state and said so I already know where you live, I kindly said I would like to check things out first he said STUPID lady and hung up I called this number right back because I wanted to talk to some one like a supervisor or something 419-496-2310 and it says this number has been disconnected. I's going on 4:00 pm here so I will be calling the better BBB tomorrow.
I got the call earlier this week from a "young man" who said his name is Nathan from "COPS FOR KIDS" (caller ID says it was a "Locksmith????"). He called me by my first name and explained that he was looking for me to donate to his charity... When I asked what percentage actually went to the charity he responded "what is acceptable to you"? I explained that there are solictors out there who keep more of the donation for themselves; therefore, I would only give to a charity that could furnish me how much of the donation ACTUALLY goes to the charity itself? Because he sounded offended by my forthright response, I proceeded to tell him, "Nathan, in your case, I would only consider giving to a charity where 100% of my donation goes to the charity itself, and if you can't prove that amount goes to it, I am not interested--- and further, don't waste my or your time by calling me on my phone anymore, please!". He continued talking to me in a more condescending tone, and I hung up on him. FOLKS, THIS IS DEFINITELY A SCAM---BEWARE! ---Don't believe that police chief who claims it's legit!!!!
