Just moved to Texas from another state and got a new landline installed. Someone called from 818-824-6346 and asked for Yon. No one here by that name, so I said he had the wrong number. He said he had the right number, just the wrong name, and proceeded to tell me he was a paid solicitor raising money. It had something to do with supporting the police, but it was a bit vague. I said I wanted to look them up online, but he just kept trying to tell me how important it was to support these "training programs" and such. I hung up and blocked the call. Even IF it is a legitimate charity, I know that a chunk of funds raised (if not all) would be going to whatever entity is doing the fund raising. I'm betting it is a scam.
