Its interesting to see these coments above. I got this call and did not answer it in time. Then about 2 hours later I received a call from 630-847-1385 from someone named Jim requesting donations for Woodridge Police Union 51. They want me to leave a check at my front door tonight and will pick it up between 6 and 8:30pm. He said the person picking up the donations in the area will leave stickers and stuff. I WILL NEVER AGAIN PICK UP MY PHONE WITHOUT KNOWING THE PERSON MYSELF.."
Owner wasn't in- Identified himself as Mark Warren from Woodridge police department...stating it was a personal matter and the owner was to call back immediately.
Something didnt seem right about the call so I googled the number. Thank you all for sharing saved us returning the call.
Just received a call asking for one of the VP's by first name. Could hear telemarketing going on in the background.
I have been involved with a police officer for a few years and these telemarkers keep the bulk of your donation, very little goes to the "charity".
I will tell the caller next time they call.
Caller ID shows Abbott, L
Called and said they were from the Schaumburg police dept. kept insisting for me to donate. I kept telling them to send me info before I donate and I read about all these scams, he got somewhat defensive. I will not be giving them my money.
Got a call from this number saying he was from Elk Grove police looking for a donation and they even come to the house to pick up the money. I told him I donate to other organization and he hung up.
