I can verify from experience that it is nasty scam using trust of police.
STAY AWAY.

This number has appeared on my caller ID, with UNKNOWN NAME nearly a dozen times. I never answer it. That is why I love caller ID. Thanks to those who have shared their comments about this number.

Called about giving to Police Chiefs association; asked if would donate. I said I hadn't heard of the organization, would check out to make sure it's legitimate and if so I would be wiling to donate. He said maybe next time and I asked him why he's concerned about my checking into legitimacy of the organization. He then said they'd send me the packet in the mail. I said fine and he hung up. He never asked me to verify my mailing address.

I answered the call from this number . He said he was with some law inforcement looking for donations. Wanted me to commit to $ 15.00 donation. I assume he thought I would give him a credit card but I told him no. I suggest you do the same

Police fundraisers would actually say on the Caller ID "police/etc". This is a scam. 717-484-8016 only says on ID "Adamstown, PA".
Report it to, www.donotcall.org....enough conplaints, they jump in & handle it .
"someone is obviously looking for a quick buck, and pretending to be part of the police in PA.
Good luck!
POLICE OFFICERS KID !

Same number called me. Gave a name (Ed?) and stated the call was being recorded for my protection. I said I wasn't interested and he kept narrating his "cause" with the State Police. I hung up. Scam!!!!! Do not give this person any information!!
| jerry 2012-01-14 15:03:06 Unknown |
scammers, cops do not use the phone to obtain donations ever!

Hangs up on sneering machine comes thru as unknown caller. Few weeks back my spouse answered and said about giving to police. We were walking out door so they said they would phone later.

Occasionally get calls from this number. Caller doesn't leave a message exactly but speaks to the answering machine in a way that sounds as if thecaller is trying to trick people who screen their calls into thinking that this is someone they know. "You there?" The question is always exactly the same, same voice, same intonation, same timing. Having heard it repeatedly sounding so much alike I'm convinced it's a recording. Call is listed as coming from Adamstown, PA.

Same here, no answer, then hangup, unknown on caller ID. If they are a fundrasing organization they are doing a poor job. They were calling in the evening now calling in the AM. Going to report to the Do-not-call as I am listed, and have not given to the F.O.P. for years.
| alleycat 2012-01-09 22:44:21 Unknown |
if I get a call again I will call and have them reported to the police and have them sent to jail
| bubba 2012-01-09 22:35:00 Unknown |
Same deal, said the call was being recorded and asking for support for the Pa State Police fundraiser. I hung up. Tried several searches but to no avail. Only that it was from Adamstown Area. SCAM!

I received a couple calls recently. Nobody would answer on the other end, apparently they hung up?
| Paula 2011-12-17 20:05:45 Unknown |
Just got a incoming call from 7174848016. Didn't answer and no message left. Had the same call last week, again no message. Has anyone tried calling the number back? You can block your number by dialing *67 before the phone number, just listen for the new dial tone. Please post if you find out who this is. Thanks

No idea who they were as they did not indentify when phone was answered. Also person did not identify with my answering machine, kepy saying "hello, are you there?" for three times before he left his name.
Message came in at 6:28 pm.

what the heck legit business is down there? no answer no reply,, I hate these scammers!
| Rich 2011-12-11 19:34:45 Unknown |
Repeated calls from this number. I usually ignore numbers with "UNKNOWN "NAME" or "NUMBER". I picked up last night. It was a recording. Caller identified himself as "Eric XXXXX". He said that he represented the Pennsylvania Police something or other. I hung up. Sounds like a Scam to me.
| Ms. D 2011-12-10 23:15:31 Unknown |
Got a call from this number at 5:26 p.m. They hung up before the answering machine even kicked on (which is fine with me!). ;-)
| Cindy 2011-12-10 22:49:00 Unknown |

Caller claimed to be doing a fundraiser for a police organization and I asked if it was a scam...he said that he was "glad" I asked, then said he would send something in the mail. He tried to get me to "commit" to a dollar amount, then hung up when I said that I would look for their info in the mail.
