Unexpectedly, these calls masquerade as charitable police fundraisers, yet they rarely connect to a real person. Most recipients hear a recorded greeting and are urged to donate $20 or more, often without clear identification of the police department involved. To protect yourself, treat any unsolicited donation request with skepticism: verify the organization by calling the official police department number, not the one that called you. Register your number on the national Do Not Call list and enable carrier‑level spam blocking. Report persistent callers to the FTC and your state consumer protection agency. Consider using a call‑blocking app and never share credit‑card details over the phone.
Although the Caller ID displayed Salem NH, there was no one on the line, prompting me to block the number.
A representative from a company starting with the letter 'Z' contacted me from the number 603-952-4419, claiming to be raising funds for the New Hampshire Police and the Children's Hospital in Dartmouth, NH. Upon inquiry, the individual provided vague details about the Dare and Explorer programs, and when asked for specificity regarding the hospital, claimed to be fundraising for both. This raised suspicions about the legitimacy of the call.
It appears this company was hired by the Salem police union for fundraising purposes, but their approach is unacceptable, making the department look bad; the representatives are extremely rude, and even getting them to engage in conversation can be difficult, so it's best to ignore these calls and avoid following the recording's instructions.
Given that my daughter works in Salem, a call from a Salem, NH number raised my concern.
It's possible that these calls are being made by law enforcement.
This number call me every day from 7am to 10pm, they say they work with the police but it's not the police themself, i try to block the number but it dont work
I recieve calls at least twice a day, anytime from 7am to 10pm, with nobody answering, i can hear people breathing and whats sound like TV in the background, i'm on the DNC list, but they wont stop calling me
Folow the above advise, call the 800 number and you will be removed from the list
After dialing the provided 800 number, which supposedly removes my number from their list, I hope this unwanted contact ceases, as it has become a nuisance
For weeks now, I've been inundated with calls from this number, even on holidays like Mother's Day, and it's becoming increasingly infuriating as the calls show no signs of stopping.
For the past week, I have been bombarded with daily calls from this number, which is unusual since they previously identified themselves on caller ID, especially when I contributed to their police fundraiser
Fortunately, I found this website after receiving a call from this number, which I didn't answer due to unfamiliarity; upon calling back, I discovered it was an automated police non-profit call, and I hope the calls cease.
Repeated daily calls from this number yield no response or message, but upon calling back, it was discovered to be the NH Police non-profit association, with instructions to call 800-378-0957 and follow prompts to be removed from their call list.
I recieved a call from SALEM(NH) at 8:05pm and again at 7:27 pm, no messsage, it very intrusive and annoying
Upon answering the call at 8:04pm, the line immediately went dead, which was quite unexpected since I had registered with
Given that my area code is 603, I initially thought it might be a call from one of my children, but it turned out to be a bill collector for someone else after I decided to wait and see who was on the other end.
To report this scam to the authorities, I'd like to know the proper procedure for filing a complaint with the FCC.
i got a cal from this number, it was suppost to be from the Police Union, i put him on hold for 5 minutes and then just hung up
Multiple calls have been recieved from this number, and living in NH, it's become a bother, especialy since i'm on the National Do Not Call List, but it doesnt seem to make a diffrence, now i just let my answering machine get the calls
My previous post was made on April 17, 2008, at 8:46 pm, as noted above.
When a man claiming to be from the NH police called asking for a non-profit donation of $20, I advised him to send the information by mail, emphasizing the importance of never using a credit card over the phone for such transactions.
The people behind this number is extreemly annoying, alot of hang ups, i recently spoke to a guy named Keith, he didnt want to hear that i wasnt going to give him any money, i ask him to remove me from his call list, but he just said expect more calls
Salem NH was displayed on the caller ID when we recieved a call from this number too.
I answered the call but nobody replied, thou there was somone on the other end
Repeated calls are received, and when returned, different messages are played, including fundraisers for missing children and research groups, but only machines answer
