905-429-2268

This is a call service looking for donations to the Police Association of Ontario. It says 905, which in Canada is a Outside the GTA area code, but the gentleman I talked to definitely had an American accent - certainly not Canadian.

Got a call from this phone number, asked the donation to the Police Association. But it was very strange call, got me nervous by saying "calling from the Police Association, and this will be recorded ...".  I don't believe it's real from police association.

just got acall, same method only they said my wife donated 45 dollars and they have not received payment.  They wanted me to complete the transaction.  I call my wife, she said she agreed to give them $20 but they keep calling back increasing the donation amount.  I glad I googled the phone number, these guys werevery slick.  You save me giving money to a scam.  One question though, because theyrecorded mywife agreeing to $20 can they do anything?

Two calls today, which I let go to voice mail. I didn't recognize the number and there was no text ID. No messages were left. BTW, the area that the 905 code includes is huge. It surrounds the city Toronto (416/647 codes) with Lake Ontario as the southern border. Parts of the 905 area can easily be upwards of 100 Km (60 miles) apart, and in fact my calls had (1) before the 905-429-2268.
I get about 6 garbage calls per day.

I agreed to give $15 and they tried to up it to $45. I only agreed to donate because I called the local police station and they said it was real. I don't understand how they can be real and yet still try to up the donation?? They even sent mail trying to confirm the transaction...etc.

I doubt they can do anything even having her agree while being recorded. It's a DONATION, not a contract. If an organization tried to persue getting a measly $20 because they have a woman agreeing on a recording, there is something seriously wrong!

picked up on a long distance ring, said hello and there was a pause, a click and then a 'hello'. knew it was a telemarketer. I wish these guys would go away - i hung up but did star 69. THey call ALL the time!!!

How does one know if the call really is being recorded?  Report the company to the BBB.  A donation for charity is tax deductible and a receipt should be provided.  What legitimate charitable organization would harass their donors?

Got a call from this number, they never left a message and it aint the first time.Kind of freaky

This number has been calling my house every 15 minutes I haven't answered it yet and now that I know its a scam I probably won't!

Over the holidays I visited my parents and while I was there my mother got a telemarketing call soliciting donations for the "Police Association".  Today I did some googling to see what I could find about this call and found this page as well as http://forums.blueline.ca/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=17014&start=0&st=0&sk=t&sd=a.  According to the discussion at this latter page, the call is "legitimate" (although I wonder by what definition it qualifies for this status), but only 15% of the donations collected actually go to charity and the donations do not qualify for a charitable donation tax receipt.

IMO, this telemarketing campaign falls just short of an outright fraud: it manages to follow the letter of the law, but completely ignores the spirit of the law.  That's rather ironic considering the organization they claim to represent.

Got same message previously.  I was aked to leave cheque in my mail  box.  I said OK but ignored.  They called back to say I hadn't left my cheque.  I said I didn't have one.  ( community boxes here in the boonies). I was told I could mail it in.  However I never buy from the door or phone.  So I asked for address and Postal Code.  When I asked again of the P. Code it was different.  I hung up after they thought I fell for this.  I tried to call our police stn, but got a menu of detectives phone mail.  Hung up to await new call.  Never came.  We have had numerous calls since, but never answer.

just one of numerous annoying calls

Just got a call, and since I was studying , I didn't answer it. no message was left. I googled the number and am happy to find it here.

They call in every day until you give them money. It is too much.

Did not pick up the phone, but I did google the number.
The company / number is registered in Oshawa, Ontario, Canada

had a call from a very rude, american asking for me or my husband (by name). When i told him neither person was home he hung up.

they called asking for my wife and I said she was not here can I take a message, I got an no an they hung up. WTF.

Police Association.  I have asked them to put me on their "do not call list" but they still keep calling me.  No name comes up on the call display, just the phone number.  I make it a habit now to only answer the numbers or names I recognize.

do not call
