The New York State Police do not solicit money by phone. We received a call from the number tonight at 8:20 PM requesting money be donated for a DWI Program. This is a SCAM. Do not give them any information or any kind of donation. State Police are funded by taxes, not donations. You can register you phone number on Do Not Call Registry to help or even file complaint with Federal Trade Commission.

I called the State Attorney General's office to report them. Was told to call the District Attorney's office. I did and am filing a complaint.

We need to stop this. It's annoying, creepy, criminal and they are either trying to get money or to case your home.

Report them and of course I am already on Do Not Call Registry, but it hasn't helped.

Good luck.

In Westchester, got the same call with "State Troop" on the ID.  Man on the line asked for someone by name, who was not home, then just hung up.

I had seen a number of calls from this number in my phone log, tagged as "State Troopers", and found postings on this message board indicating this was a scam.  They called again this morning.  I picked up, and got the pitch about collecting for a DWI program.  I grilled they guy, just for fun.  Was he the police?  Was he officially representing the police?  How can I verify the legitimacy of his company, etc.   He told me that I was being rude and hung up.

Same thing happened here.  Been getting calls from (914) 339-9708 every day for the past week.  Monday through Friday there's been a white van parked on my street.  First day it was directly in front of my house and a Latino man was in the front passenger seat watching me as I left the house.  Thought it was weird but chalked it up to a neighbor having work done on the house. Subsequent days the van was either parked two houses away in either direction or across the street.  Hearing about people casing your house really wigs me out as I have 4 kids.  I'm calling the police tomorrow and reporting this.
