Just got a call from 781-335-1141 caller id said police. I picked up the phone and nobody there. I called back and no answer so I put on speaker phone and leaft receiver on my desk. After about 15 minutes some guy pick up the phone saying this is the Lowell police and hung up on me. Being a resident in Ma I know for a fact Lowell police area code is 978 not 781.
I just received a phone call on my personal line. The called ID read "LOCAL" 781-335-1141 and it was from a Weymouth number. When I answered the man on the phone identified himself as a detective but was talking so quickly I could hardly understand him. He told me that the Woburn police department was having a fundraising event at the Toys R Us in Woburn, MA offering free DNA testing, finger-printing, etc. for children . He motioned it was for an officer of the Woburn police, Capt.. Jimmy Martin. When he asked for a donation I asked him for a phone number that I could call him back on. He provided me with 978-458-9010 (which is a Lowell landline) I questioned him as to why he was calling from a Weymouth phone number and replied that the station didn't have any room so they set them up at another location. I think this is a scam. I googled the phone number and found the following results. He may try calling other people here so I just wanted everyone to be aware.

A slimy fund raising company that "raises" money for police or fire associations. Having employed a former telemarketer from one of these outfits they mostly they raise money for themselves. Hang up on them.
I keep getting calls from these people almost daily, sometimes twice. You would think after calling 10 times in 7 days, at all hours of the day, and no one picks up you would call it quits!!! Persistant little pests!!!!!!
