They called my office line today from 442-243-5464, a southern California area code. It was an American man with an “I’m a serious businessman” tone of voice claiming to be from the National Patrolman's Foundation. He made a vague reference to being members of some made-up entity with a name that’s supposed to sound reminiscent of the FTC’s Do Not Call Registry that supposedly authorizes nonprofits to access telephone numbers and solicit donations by phone. Said he’d mail me a pre-stamped donation form if he could have my commitment to send it back with a specific $ amount. (Presumably if I said yes, he’d ask for my address and offer to take my credit card number to make a donation over phone. I said he must have the wrong number since he called an office building and then he hung up on ME before I had a chance to hang up on HIM! I think the number was spoofed because the connection was noisy, but they were different noises than usual.

They called my 88 year old father and got him to pledge $15.00. They sent a letter in the mail stating that they had gotten a pledge from my father and were waiting for the payment. I went online and discovered that this is a scam. Another check voided.

received a phone call requesting a donation to the National Patrolmans Foundation. Checked online information and came to the conclusion that this was a total scam. The same scenario as others, male caller then handed to a female agent to get my address etc.

Caller: did not recall

I asked what the percentage of the donation was that went to helping people. He refused to answer so I hung up. I'll donate directly to who needs it!

I got caught unawares and answered the phone before I realized it said Outreach Dropped. Whatever that means. I told the man and then a woman that I would be happy to send $20.00 as soon as I got their information in the mail and I could research them online. She said of course and I got the nifty little pamphlet and pledge papers in two days. They wanted me to send it back just three days after they mailed it.. I can't find any information about them but scam alerts. I will not be sending a check.

I contribute on line. This call came from West Allis, WI, and I don't find it on the internet. I thought I was pledging $25.00 to a local police organization

I just received a call from them as well, National Patrolman's Foundation. Just another donation scam with the twist being for a "patrolman's foundation". I told them I already donated money to the local police in the form of a parking ticket that I got last week when I parked at the local donut shop and took the cop's favorite parking place. Sad, very sad.

Same people. They tried to pump me for a donation. I said I would decide when the envelope came. He continued with the script. He sounded upset when I told him to get off the script, "Are you making fun of me?" He hung up. And a search brought me to this page.

IF they send an envelope, I will send them a check for $0.00 in their return envelope if it is postage paid.

I got a call from this same number my self. I just reported the details online to the FTC. My story is similar to many of you people here. I too spoke first to an American sounding guy and then an Asian sounding woman. I am glad I checked the internet before sending any remittance check. So I will not be sending anything because I don't wish to waste my money on any con artists.

Tax records for 2010-2-13 for Nation Patrolmen's Foundation's parent organization (Law Enforcement Officers Relief Fund) for 2010-2013 indicate that almost all of their income (about 85%) is spent on professional fundraising.

They called from 501-406-0008. The male's voice was American. He said they were from National Patrolman's Foundation. He asked could I commit to a donation and wanted me to give a donation amount. I asked how he got my number and he said I'm not sure but can you commit to giving $15. When I said yes, he transferred me to a female with a foreign middle eastern accent. I knew then it was a scam. She asked me to verify my name. I told them I was interested and I could hear someone talking to her in the background. She tried to push it a little more and I told her I can't find anything for the company and I wasn't giving her anything. I heard background talking and she said thank you ma'am and hung up.

Called me also...I knew that it was a scam as it was a recorded voice programed to interact with people yet many answers were inappropriate! This is nothing more than a SCAM!!!

No call here, just official looking paperwork in the mail. Saying I pledged $35.00, upon closer inspection they are scamming off of LEORF.org which they are not. Using their website on the mailer but not their phone number. SCAM, stay away!

I also received the call. Finally told them I would donate $25.00. They wanted me to put it on my credit card. I told them no, I would send a check, to send me an invoice, which I received within a couple of days. Glad I decided to check them out before remitting. These types of scams puts a black eye on REAL foundations, Why doesn't our govt (ha) put this guy and all his cohorts in jail?
