727 area code is in Florida. I live in Maryland and do not answer calls originated out of state if I do not personally know who is calling me.
Florida is a haven for many scams ..... you can easily verify this for yourself.
Maryland has local "One Hundred Clubs" that are really set up for the benefit of fallen officers and can be easily checked out through the states attorney generals office. (The One Hundred refers to the amount that is typically pledged to support the endownment)
Finally, as the spouse of a law enforcement member, I personally believe that the name " Officer Down Foundation" is a pure sympathy play. Ask them to send you their literature and find out what state they are registered in......if they tell you they are a marketing firm, ask them their administrative percentage that is taken before they give to the aforementioned charity.
I got this call last night and I was told the same thing, but he said the organization was in Baltimore, my hometown. My caller ID said something entirely different and when I asked him again where he was calling from, he again said Baltimore. I told him that was funny because my caller ID had a 727 area code and that was New Port Richie Fla. He hung up. Anyone can put up a website!.
Seems like a lot of Marylanders are getting this call. Funny that the are code is from FL, but caller insists he is from MD. I'm guessing if he is calling West Virginia, he tells them he is from WV also. F that...
I was at work when this number called my phone around 1:26 PM on May 25, 2010. Just like many people these days, I have caller ID too and it shows "Officer Down FO" on it, with a 727 area code. I am suspicious about this!!!!! Con on, I live in Baltimore, MD and the area codes are 410 and 443. If a actual police officer called, I think it would be a Baltimore, MD area cade of 410 or 443, not 727 which is a Florida area code based on my search in "GOOGLE". Come on telemarketers, don't you know, people have caller ID and we check it before we answer the phone and if we see "unknown", "not available" or some so called "police officer" calling with an area code out of your area, We will not answer such calls.
We treat them as suspicious scams and I will not answer. Good day.
