Enough already! Stop calling me w/ur bogus B.S.! Shame on you for using the Police to get money! I'm getting calls daily from a guy named Ray from phn# 702.723.3080 saying he's from the NV Fraternal Order of Police wanting contibutions. He tries to guilt me w/all kinds of crap! Watch out people, because our Police and Fire Departments DO NOT call asking for any type of monetary contribution from anyone! Disgusting how many low-life's are out there trying to scam honest people out of money for the men and women who Actually are Working to Serve and Protect our Communities!

They asked us for a donation for the sheriff’s office. I asked them for a mailing address but they said that they could only take a credit card.
Ya right

They also call me many times and when i call back the phone # is out of service, It's a Scam claiming they
are with the faternal order of Police. Why can't the attorney Generals office cut this # OFF??

They just called and fed me the ol' bullcrap about donating for the police. I laughed and hung up. I hope there is a special place in hell for these scammers.

Missed call on my Cell Phone, no message. Don't know who it is

We have continued to get calls from 702-723-3080. They state they are from the Nevada Fraternal Order of Police. The Nevada police department has publicly stated that they do NOT fundraise or solicit donations through telemarketing, so please DO NOT DONATE to this scumbag of a company.

I called the Nevada attorney general and this donation scheme has gotten so bad that they actually have a recorded message to address this problem. I seriously hope the attorney general goes after this company and shuts them down for good!

The only legit NV FOP fundraisers number is  702-220-4152 & are located on 3210 S. Decatur Blvd. LV,NV 89102...(in the yellow pages)

This is a for profit group this is right off the BBB website

Number identified as (702) 723-3080 called, let it ring twice and then hung up without leaving a message. Not the first time

bottom feeders who do not care who they steal from. they use police, fire or several other reasons to get your money. may they burn in hell. do not be fooled, report them to do not call or local gov. get them or they will get you or someone trying to do good deeds. go direct to red cross or police or fire! DO NOT CALL THE NUMBER BACK!

Got a call from them a few days ago here in Nevada. When it kicked in my answering machine message, they hung up. That number has called before.

JUST RECEIVED A CALL FROM ABOVE NUMBER. I FELT IT WAS A SCAM & HUNG UP.
THEY SHOULDN'T BE ALLOWED TO HARASS SENIORS.

constantly harassing asking for donations

Jeez they just called me and I ignored it. They left no message.

They asked for lady of the house and said they are fraternal order of police. That made no sense to me. I think they are just trying to figure out who lives at my address. I used to have a job for 1 day where we did ask for donations for the police dept. But if anyone donates they only get about 50% of it. It's better to send it directly to the police instead of using some go between. The caller gets a cut and the company gets a bigger cut. Never donate money over the phone. Always give directly to the cause.

Called my house and as the phone was ringing I was looking this number up and found this site.  I'm glad I didn't answer, however my machine picked up and they of course hung up and left no message.  I hope these scammers fingers fall off in the middle of the night.

well..they called me again for money...now i hate the police.

These people dont care about anyone they call, it was alot different 25 years ago, the people calling actually cared but now look what we got. The people that continue to use these illegal techniques are about to be drummed out of any charity work or fundraiser work. You should know that if you give to the FOP they will pass your info around the office like it was candy. There fundraiser has who knows how many other questionable charities they would like to to give to,

The second you give, your marked, give twice and you are a mooch, give 3 times, and you are a sitting duck. 4 or more times and you need to let someone else hold the check book LOL

They are defiantly a "hired gun" but the problem is they were hired by the charity but they have been trained in Mitch Golds techniques.



They really are everywhere, but not to worry, we got them nailed to the wall, they are not going anywhere without us knowing about it.

We told you, end the deceptive acts and practices and you would not hear from us. But you all did not believe us back in 2008 when we told you to clean it up. That was not a wise move,

If they can call you and use these techniques on you, we have a right to use them back on them but telling you what the techniques are so you can spot them too.

These ethically challenged individuals need to take a look at this story about spoofing caller id numbers. The part they dont understand is in the case of spoofing a phone number in another state to employ a local connection to your local police department is a deceptive practice especially when in combination with a local mail drop to further mislead the public. Hey one wants to give local and you just ask them  this

These people get local numbers for virtually anywhere through websites such as skype. The numbers can even have your same area code and prefix as you. Buying skype numbers when you could just call using your normal local exchange in and of itself is deceptive because they are doing it to imply a local connection. If they were not trying to trick you into thinking they are local to you or from your local police then they would call you from their 727 area code, It is an AUTOMATIC DECEPTIVE ACT and PRACTICE and it is actually taking money away from your real local charities and by default raising their cost to raise funds and making them look less attractive to you the donor.

That is a very dangerous technique because it flouts the Sherman Act and in North Carolina it violates NC GS 75.1, NC GS 14-100 and depending on what they spent the money on, it might even violate NC GS 14.72

In North Carolina all liget groups are being damaged by the money drain that these groups are causing. It shrinks the available pool of money for them to tap in THEIR local areas and ALL have a duty to sue each and every other charity that is causing damage to their donors. Not to mention that some of these groups get government funding to run their program and that being the case THE GOVERNMENT has to dole out more taxpayer money then they would if these groups did not exist.

So they are robbing donors by misrepresenting a local connection

They are robbing every charity that operates legally because they have to compete with fraudulent techniques they legally can not use to attract donations. Because the groups using them are breaking the law.

The people calling you are professional fundraisers no matter what they tell you. The problem is that some of these charities have acquired their own fundraising people, but they acquired them from a pool of "phone pros" that have been highly trained through trial and error over many years in the art of getting into your head and your wallet at the same time.

Its the techniques that need to end. Most of the people calling you are just trying to make a living and do this for 40 hours a week, they have no idea what these techniques are or how effective they are, but we know how effective they are because we invented them, but they were designed to help charities but are being used now to manipulate donors.

Every time we see these techniques being used we are gong to report it and very soon we will have a database of everyone of their phone numbers. They will not be able to hide from us anymore, or from us exposing them to you, the people who want to make a donation and do something good for their community, but these people and stuck themselves between you and the charity.
\
99% of the charities have no idea it is being done to them or are just desperate for cash.

We need everyone of you to help us by leaving detailed complaints on this and other boards under the numbers that call you. Also, search out the other sites that have this number listed. Once the database of numbers they use is complete it will eliminate the type of fraud that badgefraud.org goes after and we will slip to the background to monitor all these fundraisers. Some of these fundraiser will get huge fines for some of the calls that are already being complained about on these boards. One, Community Support that got sued during operation false charity last year, I think gets a 40,000 dollar fine for every violation that is declared fraudulent. They need to realize that the techniques are unusable and illegal, and end their use.

Fundraising over the phone can and is done by the fast majority of charities ethically and legally and these people need to get on board or we are going to drop them either in the poor house or a prison.

Are you ready? Here comes your Eureka moment.

Its all connected to this California lawsuit that started during "Operation False Charity" they set this up so they could keep raising money with out all that bad press that that is in the name of Police Protective Fund

http://ag.ca.gov/cms_attachments/press/pdfs/n ... ce_officers.pdf

They got sued by so many states that they set up this new scam using all the same stuff, right down to the sales techniques that many states have told them are deceptive. I am an expert in those same techniques.

Paul Kutac and June Mellon were not sued so they are the ones that set it up. They use this boiler room out of Hudson FL

Here is one of their employee's a few weeks ago http://blogs.tampabay.com/bizarre/2010/05/wor ... er-a-tooth.html


There is even a site detailing it here http://pfcl.org/Officer_Down_Foundation.html

That should be all anyone needs, just dont give them any money and call your local police sheriff and local media and tell them someone tried to scam you from this group in the name of Fallen Officers so they can issue a press release so your neighbors dont fall victim to these clowns

I have been getting repeat phone calls from this number "(702) 723-3080". I filed a case with police. Who is behind this?

There is just something wrong with a post that begins with a warning not to delete it or the world will come to an end.

I work in Corrections in Nevada and this is a scam. I agree with your post that they are scamming and looking for people to fall for their illegal activities. Be smart people and do not answer or give them your information.

702-723-3080 -- doesn't leave a message - just hangs up

It's a scam, went to the web site, tried to email them, can't because their email address is a hoax.

Just received a call for the "lady of the house." The script went pretty much like those already posted.

I do support law enforcement, but this was just wrong. Once he started asking me for information, I got very suspicious.

He said they also take donations on their website. I asked what the website was and he ended the call.

THIS IS A SCAM.  THERE IS NO "jean county"  

Jean is a small collection of hotels at the nevada and california border.  30 miles from vegas.  it is in clark county.  this number and scam has been reported on by the local newspapers.  IT IS A SCAM.  the police do NOT do fund raising like this.

this is a scam.  the police does not do this type of fundraising.  dont be fooled

This number called me, rang twice and hung up.  

And for the one who says they're a charitable organization - WISE UP - THIS IS A SCAM - POLICE ORGANIZATIONS (EVEN WIDOWS & ORPHANS FUNDS) DO NOT CALL FOR DONATIONS!!!!
I wouldn't be at all surprised to find out you're actually the owner of this number - and I wouldn't put it past you since you've posted on several of the "who's calling me" websites trying to convince people it's OK to talk to these jerks!

If you're not the owner and you're "buying in" to this scam - STOP it... it's ignorant people who fall for these scams that keep these scammers in business!  Wise up!

They say they represent the police dept, wrong, they are looking for donations, police dept do not ask for donations over the phone, beware.

This phone number is calling to do fund raising for the Nevada Fraternal Order of Police. I have called the number.  It directs you to a customer service department that can answer questions, help you donate, or anything else related to the FOP. Also, there?s information on www.nevadafop.org. Plus, you can contact them there with any questions or requests.
The FOP is doing a lot of really great things for Nevada police officers and the people that call are trying to help them raise money so they can do even more good.
