Looks like the organization is real, not sure if the caller is actually associated with the organization. When ask where he got the number, he said I am on the call list.

Call comes through, if you let it ring until answering machine picks it up, and some guy goes: "Are you there?"
This is a scam pretending to be legitimate but they're crooks after your money.

spam and scam don't answer.

This call is from a "police charity" enabling kids to go to games. NO police department in CA is associated with ANY charities that call you. If you ask how much of your donation goes towards the kids they will say 3-7%. NEVER DONATE TO A CHARITY THAT DOESN'T GIVE AT LEAST 80% OF YOUR MONEY TOWARDS THE CAUSE. It is a scam otherwise! This charity MIGHT be legally legitimate but your money isn't going to the kids. It is going towards retreats, banquets, personal travel, personal entertainment... for their personal luxury. It is a scam covering their hind end by giving only a few dollars to the cause! This ought to be illegal but it isn't. HANG UP, BLOCK THE #, GIVE THEM FAKE INFORMATION (if you want to waste their time & play their game), asked to be put on the no call list (but that hasn't worked for me). They call me every few months anyway. This is not a charity worth your hard earned money. Donate elsewhere. ALWAYS ask how much of your money is going to the cause (answer should be 80+%). NEVER donate $$ over the phone or email. ALWAYS call them back if you really want to donate, write a check mailing it & never through a credit card. By mailing it through the US Postal service it now becomes a truly fraud case if they cash it. Be smart, give to good legitimate charities only.
