Imagine fielding a call that pretends to be a "Police Association" charity and instantly feels off. Most reports describe a vague "Officers Association" that pressures for donations, uses broken English, and vanishes when you call back. The pattern points to a spoofed nonprofit front, likely run from North Carolina but targeting other states. Hang up without engaging, block the number, and report it to the FTC’s Do Not Call list. Avoid returning the call—call‑backs feed their database. Enable carrier‑level spam filters and consider a reputable call‑blocking app. Keep a log of the caller ID for future reference, and share it with neighbors to curb the spread.
Upon answering a call from this number, I heard two women conversing in broken English and giggling; I immediately hung up, suspecting a scam, and blocked the number.
The caller ID displayd 'OFFICERS ASSOC', but I didnt answer and no message was left, others have reported this as a scam
The Officers Association, it's hard to say what's more fake, the officers or the asociation it's self
Our landline received a call from a number identified as the Officers Association, but no message was left. Thanks to previous posts, we will now block this number.
Following the trend of other users, this number was blocked as it was unrecognized, and upon reading similar experiences, the decision to block was reinforced.
It's puzzling to receive calls from a North Carolina number regarding police matters in Illinois, especially following other scam calls.
This is a total scam, i live in NC and i called my local PD, dont anser and block this number
A call was received from this number, which was immediately blocked. Local news has reported on organizations like this, which often use the term Associations. It is generally advisable to be cautious when dealing with such groups, as they may be scams.
I appreciate your post and agree with your sentiments.
Filing a complaint with the FTC and registering phones with donotcall.gov can help reduce unwanted calls, as I've discovered
A call was made from the 'OFFICERS ASSOCIATION', which I suspected to be a scam due to my past experiences with similar calls, so I didn't answer, and as expected, no message was left.
The same scam call described by others was received, claiming to support the police, but it's a well-known scam.
The number calls repeatedly but doesn't leave messages, and when attempting to call back, it's stated that the number is unavailable.
Receiving multiple calls from these individuals prompted me to call back, and a person claiming to be Eddie from the Policemen's Association answered; I expressed my frustration with their scam tactics, and they abruptly ended the call, now their number is not in service when I try to call back.
Apparently, impostors claiming to be support officers are utilizing cell phone apps to alter their numbers, sparking complaints to the FTC's Do Not Call registry, which may eventually implement software to prevent such deceptive practices, ultimately leading to the prosecution of these scammers.
I live in NC and this number call my landline, fortunately i didnt answer and i request a block on it now
The caller id showed police assoc, someone is calling nationwide from a small town in nc wanting to collect charitable donations for a generic police association, yeah right
Its absolutly outrageous! The Police Association from North Carolina is collecing money from Florida residnts
