they aren't with the police we went to our local police and ask and they said they will never solicit over the phone and the same for the state police. I called my phone company and now when they call I tell them they are being traced and record they will stop.

Caller ID - Not Available
:Left no message
Callback = "Barry for the Fraternal ..."

They hung up on voice mail

The FOP fundraisers keep most of the money. It does not benefit your local police, or pretty much anyone, except for congressmen, who receive money from their lobbyists.

see 800 notes for 215-383-5589 for a full explanation of this practice. - 3rd post down by Tic Toc, who explains the origin of this scam, and how it is referred to as "badge fraud".   Dont be fooled.

Second call I actually answered,claimed to be from the fraternal order of police when they called first time I asked them to quit calling because the guy got very angry and yelled at me,he knew my name and when I told him I couldn't donate he persisted & then I said please don't call after he continued to raise his voice at me! & I hung up.....obviously a scam..shame on them
