Reply to comment by Jesus-Mcnugget in Why is the State Police calling me for donations when they're definitely "better funded" than me? by chain_me_up

I wouldn't donate anyway, just annoying as fuck and wanted to complain about it. I also wondered if anyone was also getting spammed and got them to stop so I could do the same.

The fact that they are calling from different numbers alone is a big red flag.

If you told them to stop calling and they don't, that's another flag.

This is seems like a scam.

It most likely is, I never doubted that option, again, simply trying to see if anyone else is experiencing this.

The point was it seems like a scam. And from a quick search online it appears there are some scammers pretending to be police associations.

So if it's a scam, they are probably going to keep calling you as long as you keep answering.

I'm at a point that I let every call I don't know the number to voicemail and read the transcript so I waste less time. So many scams over phone and sms...

Agreed, I've been there for years. If I don't know who you are, chances are I have absolutely no need or desire to hear from you.

Even if it isn't a scam, it's a scam.

If you give them money you're paying them to bother you. Don't ever give money to people who call you.

The best I'll ever do is tell them to send me something in the mail because legit organizations don't mind mailing you something but mail fraud is illegal so scammers rarely will.
