    I just got called, and my co-worker got called less than 5 minutes later from the same guy.

    They have a poorly assembled website (replete with Lorem Ipsum), but there's nothing else on the web about them, except I have a suspicion that they're a rebranded "National Police Support Fund".


    There's nothing to make me believe these guy(s) are at all legit.

    I got that call yesterday. Looks like it is set up as a PAC and there does exist a PAC with that name:
    https://www.fec.gov/data/committee/C00653030/
    Does not seem to have been tremendously successful, at least based on their reported income.

    That doesn't mean a whole lot - a lot of domains are hidden because the owner wants to avoid spam.

    But, it does add to their shadiness.

    As my mom was getting to the point where she couldn't handle her own business anymore, she used to send a check for at least $5-$10 to each and every alleged charity that had the word "police" in it, thinking it was the police. Sometimes this happened multiple times in the same year to same quasi- or phony charity. A lot of money was flushed down the toilet to people who purposely prey on the elderly because they are easy to deceive. It's despicable.

    I don't answer if the number isn't familiar.


    I do and I answer it by saying "The job is done, but their is blood everywhere". The RCI lady sounded concerned. A different time share lady offered up a time share in mexico. The latter one and I talked for a little while. She was funny.
