Snow you are incorrect! The FOP of NJ does NOT solicit donations from people by telephone nor do they phone call people at 8:15 in the morning. This is 100% SCAM. Hang up or do not answer if you have Caller ID.
I got a phone call at 8:18 this morning (11/16/10) in the morning from this organization. They called and when my answering machine picked up they did not leave a message. I know they tired to call me once before a few weeks ago the phone rang once and they hung up. I now know to never answer the phone on this number after reading this.
I also got 2 calls at 8:15. The one from last week was at the number mentioned here (856) 295-5627 but the one that I got this morning was (856) 295-5642. There is also the same complaints on this website for that number, so be careful with any numbers of this type. DO NOT give out your credit card number, just tell the caller that you've already donated to your causes and please take me off your list. I will be ready when they call me again, I didn't answer the call from this morning as I wasn't sure at the time if it was the number. I made the mistake of donating a couple of years ago and then found a write up in the paper about these organizations and that the police organizations never solicit by phone. I will never again give out my credit card number to anyone cold calling on the phone. People be aware that these calls are scams, I hate that they rip off people that are kind but really need the money for themselves more and don't know that they are giving to scams.
