I received a call - the person identified themselves as being from the New Jersey Police Department soliciting donations.  There was a lot of static on the line.  The caller said that I had donated $100 last year - I could not recall doing that and then they asked if I wanted to donate a lesser amount instead.  I was willing to do that.  They then put someone else on the line - there was still static  - this caller asked the amount I was donating and verified my address which they already knew.  He asked if I wanted to use a credit or debit card, I said no.  He said, do you want to pay by check, I said, yes.  Caller said, I would get something in the mail in three days.  In hine-sight, I should have told the caller to call back when there was not static on the line and I should have asked for his badge number.  I am going to call the Camden Police Department (or New Jersey Police Department) and see what I can find out.  I would not recommend making a contribution with these folks unless both these things I mentioned are clear.
