I received a call today, stating they were from the NC State Troopers and were raising money for their death benefit fund. I thanked them, stated I was not interested and hung up. The caller certainly sounded authority like.
These folks called me and said I had made a commitment to pay an amount for the FOP. I never talked to them. Then the guy got all tongue tied and started laughing and hung up on me!!! Sure sound like scam artists to me!!!
I got the same "NC Fraternal Order of Police" short message, but there was not a real person on the line and the phone made a clicking sound at the beginning and ending of this broken up message. Usually, the only Police Fund raising calls I get come from my own county and with a real person talking on the phone. This call came from over two hours away from my house and I'm on the 'No Call' list. Go Figure.
