Received a call from this number wanting my brother in law who does not live here anymore. He said he talked to him an hour ago at this number and I told him he could not. He said he was with the police and I hung up. He was rude. Looked up the number and it was from a Paul MCadams on Reading Rd - Cincinnati, OH. Sounds like a con to me.
Caller stated he was calling for "Ohio Police" to help kids in the community. When I asked if he is a police officer, he said it's illegal for police to call. And when I asked what percentage the police get, the guy hung up on me. I had a similar experience a couple of years ago with a police charity calling and the telemarketer hanging up when I asked about %, but I don't know if it's the same one.
I got a call from somebody with poor grammar representing himself on behalf of the local police and county sheriff's department to "help kids in the community". With a donation I could get a decal showing my support. I was immediately suspicious because the area code from which the call came was not ours. I said no, and he then suggested a small donation of $5. I again refused and he got tongue tied-then he hung up.
Received call about 11:00 am on Tuesday, May 29, 2012 from Ohio Police requesting a donation of $10 to help kids in our community and I would receive a decal showing I was a donor. I told the male caller I would send what I could but did not mention the amount. He then requested at least $5 which is the smallest amount they would accept. I again told the caller I would send what I could and he hung up on me. He didn't wait to hear me say my donation might be more than the requested amount. Because of his rudeness I will never donate again so they can remove my name and number from their calling list.
Got a call from "ohio police" on 6/5/12. First thing was to confirm my address and then send he was sending out my "new" state police decal showing my support. I said I am not comitting to ANY $$ over the phone. I repeated that saying I was not giving any money over the phone. He said rudely, you can't donate $10 for the kids? I said I only donate to organizations that I have written detail about. He hung up.
