This phone number is calling to do fund raising for the Massachusetts Fraternal Order of Police. I have called the number. It directs you to a customer service department that can answer questions, help you donate, or anything else related to the FOP. Also, there’s information on www.massfop.com. Plus, you can contact them there with any questions or requests.
The FOP is doing a lot of really great things for Massachusetts police officers and the people that call are trying to help them raise money so they can do even more good.
I agree, the police have a tough job, and do a lot to protect our comunities. However, this call was highly suspicious. An uncolicited call that said 1) the call is being recorded ?? 2) we don't take pledges over the phone (then why record it??) 3) I can use your information on file to send you something, and 4) I don't have your address on file to protect you, please give it to me? All the time saying, I can't hear you, let me adjust the volume. With all the identify theft problems going on, the approach this group uses - if it is legimitate, and I'm just not sure - if very questionable.
