Would not stop calling since the summer though we kept ignoring. Finally we answer and would not take no for answer, he even wanted me to go straight to the bank at nine at night and transfer the money...What sucked me in is in the 80's I used to donate to the police association who was collecting to send children to hockey..We received info and hockey tickets in the mail...Anyway local RCMP knew nothing of this call and advised to call anti-fraud center and cancel any credit card # given. My advise donate only in person once you,be verified it is a reputable charity.
I did too. He kept asking for money and I was saying no because I don't trust any call like that, he kept talking over me and wouldn't listen, claimed money was for anti bully campaign....he was still talking when I hung up. I think it's a scam for sure because with most fund raisers once you say no they are okay with that and let you go. He just kept pushing.
My wife just got a phone call from this number and they identified themselves as the Canadian Police Association. They are asking for donations for an anti-bullying and harassment campaign. This guy wouldn't take no for an answer kept asking her for a $25-30 donation. She said she has other causes she actively donates to but he wouldn't stop. He told her he was going to call back as well. So I called my local RCMP detachment to see if this was a scam and she told me it might be, it's hard to tell as the CPA employs a marketing company to do their campaigns. The irony here is we felt like she was being bullied and harassed by an association that wants money to stop bullying and harassing.
