(209) 320-9601

The caller is supposedly from the California fraternal order of police trying to get money out of you. It is more likely a scam to get money from you by donating to their bogus charity. Although the number is a Stockton number, they have been known to call all of California. Some police districts do raise money by telemarketing calls. If you get a call from someone claiming to raise money for your local Fraternal Order of Police, call your local police and ask them if the call was legitimate. Most the time the local police will say they don’t raise money by calling. If you don’t want to call the local police, you'll want request from the caller to see its Form 990. The charity files a Form 990 with the federal government. This financial report provides information on the organization's tax status and programs, and shows how it is using its funds. Charities are required to provide Form 990 when requested.
