This phone number is calling to do fund raising for the Oklahoma State Fraternal Order of Police. I have called the number.  It directs you to a customer service department that can answer questions, help you donate, or anything else related to the FOP. Also, there’s information on www.okfop.com, you can contact them there with any questions or requests.
The FOP is doing a lot of really great things for Oklahoma police officers and the people that call are trying to help them raise money so they can do even more good.

I just prepared a cease and desist letter, addressed to the only address of any kind I could find on the okfop.org website.  I will mail it the next time I leave the house.  If they call again that will prove it's a scam.  I am getting too many calls from too many numbers and it's making me crazy.  This seems to be one of the few I might be able to stop.  Call block from my phone company only takes 10 numbers.  I have no money left to give anyone, luckily the medications my doctor prescribed are generics.

This number is for a company that is a fundraising company that the FOP in Oklahoma has hired to make fundraising calls on their behalf.  The FOP does receive some of the funds but the majority of the funds are kept by the organization making the calls to cover their expenses and profit.

Watch out, the Fraudulent Fundraising Tactics of Mitch Gold have returned for yet one more round of taking the money you try to give to the families of officers killed in the line of duty

Here are a few caught and wanted

In other words

If any of you calling had any kind of backbone at all, you would stand up to your bos right now and tell him that you are not going to use these fraudulent techniques anymore. Do you have enough backbone left, or did they brow beat it out of you all ready


Do NOT give this group anything and pick up the phone and call your local police and sheriff department so they can issue a warning to your neighbors so they dont get ripped off either

No kidding, they count on you to not report them thinking its no big deal, but it is a big deal, it is a very big deal as millions of dollars a year are being taken from the families of officers killed in the line of duty.

They must be stopped, tell your neighbors and friends and co workers that this scam is happening in your community, email them the links above so they can know it is happening and defend themselves from being conned in the name of officers killed in the line of duty
