I also received a call from phone #989-546-2002. It came up on caller id but when I answered all I got was a dial tone. Do not give any information over phone for sheriff's dept. They do not solicit by phone.
Do not give these people any of your information at all.
If you are willing to give a charitable gift, give it to where it is needed most, your local police dept.
I called the number back and got a recording for "Michigan Deputy Sheriff" in which I chose option #4. This option gave me a number to call 1-800-321-8554 which led me to a live person who said the Michigan Deputy Sheriff was doing a fundraiser selling tickets for A Christmass Carol. I asked her the physical address for Michigan Deputy Sheriff in which she could not give me. When I asked her for the physical address for the 1 800 321 8554 number she told me it was 3710 west winds dr NE Calgary Alberta T3J5h3. I told her that this seemed pretty shifty as no Michigan Police agencies solicit over the phone and now I'm speaking with someone in Canada. Personally I think it's a scam praying on the weak minded again. The 989-546-2002 says their office hours are from 9am to 9pm mon-fri which was a lie as I recieved a call on Sunday. I told her to cease and decist this fraudulant activity at once or she will be talking to a Michigan Deputy Sheriff.

Received calls from 989-546-2002, all different times, different days. Comes up as Not Available... When answering machine picks up, I get dead air. No voice, no recording... I read that someone is claiming to be Michigan Sherriff Dept. looking for handouts. Also read that the Dept does not call for money and not to give info.
