Like a wolf in sheep’s clothing, these calls masquerade as charitable police fundraisers but often turn out to be a scam that pressures you for cash or credit‑card details. The pitch usually mentions a “police support” PAC, promises envelopes for donations, and then steers you toward billing. To stay safe, never share your credit‑card number or send checks to unsolicited envelopes, and verify any organization through official government or police channels. Block each offending number, add the prefix to your Do‑Not‑Call list, and report the pattern to the FTC or your state consumer protection office. Protect your personal info and keep a record of repeated attempts.
