Fraternal Order of Police Lodge. Dude on phone said proceeds were to support remaining family of fallen officers killed in the line of duty. I asked what percentage of funds went to the beneficiaries. He asked if I wanted to sign up for Gold or Silver level contributions. I asked, "Are you not going to answer my question, which was what percentage of your fundraising proceeds go to overhead and what goes to the beneficiaries?"
Dudester responded "In accordance with State Law, I am required to inform you that not less than ten percent of the proceeds go to the beneficiaries..."
I interrupted him and said that that number was inadequate, and that the proper response for a legitimate charity would be 90%, said thank you and hung up.
DO NOT ANSWER - these guys say they are raising money for a good cause and pocket 90% of it!
Got a call from this telemarketer. Claims to represent the Moraga Police Department and FOP organization. Also in our local news this week, the police chief of Moraga discussed the scam, this firm does not represent them, and said his department is attempting to locate the caller, additionally, that Moraga does not have an FOP organization.
