Who called me from this phone number (800) 979-8423

I received a text from this number saying my bank acct. was suspended and I needed to call them. SCAM

They called my husband. I told him they were all scams. They called him again today and asked for $20 + and extra $2 for something and he said no. Somehow they got our banking information and are trying to take the $22. I'm disputing this with my bank. I also called the number on the bank's website for the transaction and left a not so nice message since I can't get a human.

The person i talked to didn't transfer me. However, i could hear so many others in the background, just like a call center. They sent me the invoice for $25, but after researching, I didn't feel comfortable. They kept calling me everyday, so I blocked their call. They used my cellphone number that I never give out. Interestingly enough the header had an 800 number, but in the body of the letter, it gives 866-423-7211. Also, the letter states that the top portion will serve as my donation record or receipt. It never said anything about being tax deductible. I certainly want to support the police, but a legit organization not one out of WI. I found something on line that indicated the spend 2.2million on administrative stuff. They only mentioned contributing about $75,000 to political candidates.

I got a call from this number requesting donations. I got transferred to someone else whom I had a hard time understanding and I found it rather odd. Never happened like that before. He wasn't very pleasant either which is new for me too. I didn't think too much about it until he asked me about what I do for a living towards the very end. Now that was odd and that is also when my red flag went up. I refused to pay by credit card and just got the papers in the mail today but it has been on my mind so I googled them and it just doesn't add up. If its legit I'm sorry, but I am not taking a chance and sending hard earned money. I will go support my local police force instead.

My experience is the same as above. I thought it was fishy when I was transferred to someone who could barely speak English. I did receive a form for the $25 I pledged but after checking them out and finding them to be frauds I threw the form away. These scams are getting out of hand. I don't want to answer my phone anymore.

Mine is very similar to Donna's text. Thought it seemed off, refused to give money over the phone and then used internet to research. Nothing adds up, do NOT give to these people.

I received a call from this number requesting donations. At first I thought the solicitor was for real, until they transferred me to another person to take my donation. This action was a red flag. They insisted I give my credit card info, I refused and they mailed me a pledge from. The pledge from has a Hales corners, WI address. If you do a search for that address you get a store front property. But if you go to the web address on the mailer , that address is in Maryland. Reading the pledge form closely states that the donations are NOT tax deductible. I also took the time to go to the BBB for both cities- nothing was found, all Google searches turned up scam.

received call from United P0lice Officers Associatio for donations. Kept putting amount down. Kind of agreed to a $15.00 one. Switched to another person who talked and talked and then I finally hung up. But, I've received a letter requesting this donation. Looks fishy to me. Of course, did not send anything. Sure wish these robo calls would stop. I'm 84 and usuallly willling to help for good cause but have to be so careful. www.policeunited.org 5300 S 108th St Ste 15 # 207 Hales Corners WI 53130-1368
