917-398-5612

This phone number is calling to do fund raising for the New York State Fraternal Order of Police. I have called the number.  It directs you to a customer service department that can answer questions, help you donate, or anything else related to the FOP. Also, there’s information on www.nysfop.com, you can contact them there with any questions or requests.
The FOP is doing a lot of really great things for New York police officers and the people that call are trying to help them raise money so they can do even more good

They are likely professional telemarketing fundraisers that are calling in the name the Fraternal Order of Police. Check this link out: http://www.stopjunkcalls.com/2006pennies.pdf 
Note the percentage of the amount that goes to the charity is on average about 25% only. Most of the money you give goes to the telemarketing. I just don't answer the call.

I do not answer this phone number either. If they can't leave a message it isn't worth answereing and just wasting my time.

And they call at 8 in the morning!  Aren't there laws about this?  I thought telemarketing calls couldn't begin before 9am!

this is not a legit fundraiser... just people trying to get us to give them money. 917 is generally a cell phone number and on the caller id it just says Unknown or out of area and even FOP (same number but changes the id? very strange and definate red flag). I'd never give a cent to these or any other scammers. I donate to my church in person and clothes to local places.

I used to work for the NY FOP fundraising company (we were paid solicitors by a company called CDG management) andI can tell you first hand this place is a complete scam, preying on the weak and the sick.  We were told to make 500+ calls a day and intimidate and basically beg for pledges from these people, and it broke my heart that the only people who would mainly were old and sick people, sometimes giving up a months medication to chip in their yearly 10 dollar donation.  The truth it at most 15% of the donation goes to the FOP lodge, the rest of it lines the crooks pockets who run it.  I heard the president of CDG recently bought himself a 7 million dollar estate with the profits stolen from people who just wanted to do some good.

Another trick is, if you donate to the FOP, about a week or two later they will put you on the PBA and the firemans association call lists, so that they try to get triple the donation from you before they call back asking for more 2-3 months later.  Most of the people who call you are drunks or stoned at the time, one of the managers in my call center was also the main pot dealer for most of the employees.

We were not allowed to put you on the DNC list unless you specifically said "Put me on your do not call list"  Requesting "please take me off your call list" was not good enough, and we would get written up for doing so if you worded it that way.

Poster Snow on here works for CDG and spreads all kinds of lies and disinformation, just look at any other states FOP listing on here and youll see the same copy/pasted reply from him.  I know they shut down our call center aout 1.5 years ago, but it seems they have recently opened up a new one.  If you want to screw with them, tell them you want to make a 250 dollar donation the next time they call, then just throw the pledge kit away when you receive it.  Put the sticker on your car if you want, hell its free anyway.  They are allowed to call you 4 more times to tell you to send in the money, buts its not like its a bill and you dont have to pay anything.  If you dont mind a few more harrassing phone calls, it is worth it to screw them over and make their "sales" numbers way overinflated vs their actual collections, and will lead to them being shut down again.

Feel free to ask more questions and I will gladly answer them, I know the company pretty well being a former manager there myself.  And please copy/paste this to any other FOP listings that you see on this site, the compnay is a f***ing scam and the owners will burn in hell for their thieving ways and total disregard for the financial damage they have done to those who donate even though they cant afford it only because they were intimidated into donating.

I hope you think it's a good organization, because I just reported it to the FTC via a federal "Do Not Call" complaint.  Any organization that asks for monetary donations via telephone sounds fishy.  And we have received numerous unsolicited phone calls from these people over several months.

I tell them to please STOP calling, I am on the do-not-call list. They call anyway and don't care.

Police officers and there family's do not get one f-in dime from the ew York State Fraternal Order of Police. NYSFOP is fraudulent and criminal organization. They harass us and our family's with there scam phone calls at all hours - they should be hunted down like dogs and dealt with accordingly!
