At 7:30pm, I got a call from someone wanting donations for fallen police.. They asked if they send me a packet, if I would send a small one time donation.. I quickly said "no thanks" and hung up.
I got a call and didn't answer. They did not leave a message. I am retired from Law Enforcement. As information, telemarketing for police charities is among the most fraud riddled. Unless you are giving directly to a police run charity, there are very few of these, you are giving to a telemarketing firm that gives a percentage to the actual police cause. This is often as little as 10% of what is collected. If you really want to help the family of a fallen officer, write a check directly to them.
Called at 6:48 pm - asked for my husband and I asked who was calling. Guy gave me some name and that he was calling from CPI (which I think is like ADT home alarm company) on behalf of fallen officers. I blocked the number.
