Expert Opinion

Beware of persistent calls claiming to represent the Fraternal Order of Police. These calls typically use a polite voice, reference local law‑enforcement agencies, and pressure you to donate to a “charity.” Never share credit‑card numbers or personal data until you independently verify the organization through its official website or a known phone line. Add the number to your device’s block list and register it with the National Do‑Not‑Call Registry. Report suspicious activity to the FTC, your state attorney general, or the FCC. If you’ve already given money, contact your bank immediately to dispute the charge.
