To answer the question, they do indeed make calls, but usually the month before Christmas and in March, right before the "policemen's society ball".  They do use a robodialer to place the calls, BUT they will talk to you in person.  They do not use a robo-speaker to detect your voice like a scammer does.  They ask for numbers so they can place it into a "voluntary" phone number bank for the future project calls.  Usually, it's to donate to the 500 club, a fund for families of fallen officers.  They ask for your "pledge" then MAIL the packet to you to finish up.  They do not ask for money over the phone.  We have donated to the 500 Club yearly. So I do know this caller to be a scammer....................It's not the way they do things at all.
