I called the number back from a different phone line and got a message that says, "Thank you for calling the Fundraising Center". We are not able to take your call at this time. Classic Scam/Spammer stuff. BLOCK
Called my cell and asked for someone else... then immediately went into a "charity donation" spiel about being from the "Trooper's Assn." Even the name... "Trooper's association" seems too ambiguous to actually be a legitimate charity. But even if they were legit, why would anyone ever give any funds to a total stranger who calls them on their phone for any reason? I never would.
They said their website was www.nptadonations.org -- National Police and Troopers Association. Front for the International Union of Police Associations. #7 on a list of America's worst charities. http://www.tampabay.com/americas-worst-charit ... ciations-afl-ci
According to that article as an example it mentioned in 2011 that 92% of the money raised by IUPA went to the professional fundraisers.
