Warning!
From the Indiana State Police.
They are warning people of phone scams collecting money for the fallen firefighters in NYC. Be careful if you get any of these calls. Question the callers and call to verify the agencies are collecting money BEFORE you give credit card numbers or money. I received an unknown caller on my caller ID yesterday (9/12), but answered it anyway (I normally don't). The man said Mrs. ****. I said is this a sales call? He said, Mrs. ***, Im calling on behalf of the Indiana State Troopers. I said this is NOT a day to be making solicition calls!!! and hung up. I was so upset someone would try to solicit. Then I realized who he said he was calling for. I felt a little bad, but thought it was still in poor taste to call people. I have not received any other solicitation call from ANYONE. I believe this was the scam they were talking about. SICK PEOPLE!! Please be careful. These people are playing on our emotions and grief.
