Got a call from this number tonight, 9 June 2010. They asked for me for my credit card or debit card number over the phone so I could make a donation! I was half asleep (which is why I answered in the first place) and told them to send me the information so I could check if they were a legitimate charity with tax exempt status. Once I woke up, I checked Google and found this site.
Sounds like a scam, and now they have my address and phone number.

NEVER give money to anyone over the phone. Rule of thumb, I give to my favorite charities, and that's it. And I know where to find them, they don't have to find me.
And a 10 year kid can photoshop up a website that looks official in a matter of hours, and accumulate what appears to be true stories and credentials just from surfing the web for info. This is a new day and age people....if you don't know them, don't give to them!
Another Marylander...................got the call a few minutes ago, man called me by name and stated he was with Officer Down Foundation. Never heard of it, as I've never heard of MOST of them that have called lately, so hung up. Just for fun hit *69, and guess what? - call was from 727-842-7739!! Googled foundation name & surprise, surprise - looks like these folks have been burning up the phone lines here in MD!! Personally, I would NEVER donate based on one of these calls - I suspect 98% of them are scams, and that is quite sad, since it tars the legitimate organizations with the same brush.
I too live in Maryland and have received numerous calls from this number in FL, as well as the same type of call from 2 other states. I ignore most of these calls, but did pick up the phone (since my caller ID isn't currently working). I asked how much of each donation actually goes to the fallen officers, and the caller hung up. Received another call from the same number 30 min later and politely declined their offer. Asked them to not call again. An hour later, received a call from the same number. Will continue to ignore all out of state calls that I don't recognize. Don't they ever learn?
