The caller was a woman claiming to be from "The Police Association." I cut her off. I received a call like this last year, from a gruff man claiming to be from "The Pennsylvania Police Association" wanting a donation. The giveaway was the fact that the number was a New Jersey number, and he clearly had a New Jersey accent. I hung up on him. I gave the info to my local police department, and the chief told me that this is indeed a scam. There is no such organization. It was unnerving that they knew my name. I usually don't answer phone calls from numbers I don't know, but for some reason I answered these two calls! Must remember not to do that again.
