called several time asking for our business owner by name! When asked what the call was in reference to he replied "he will certainly know"! After several calls he FINALLY identified himself as Sam Jones and he was collecting for our local police (something in Ridley Park) WELL OVER 20 MILES FROM HERE!
Reeks of a scam.....or at least a VERY POOR solicitation call if the charity is legit!
Received the identical call to my business line. Sam Jones.. blah blah.
I just called my brother who is the Chief of Police in a neighboring township. He told me to refer the caller to him. He also told me to tell all business and home owners to do the same with their local jurisdiction. If it is a legitimate service, your local police want to have you donate and will contact you to have you move forward with the caller.
