Who cares if they are a real charity. If someone is on the do NOT call list then they shouldn't be bothered with calls soliciting money. It is a scam to call someone who has not requested to be contacted and ask them for their money...no matter the cause. That is akin to begging and its annoying and intrusive into people's lives. I hate these types of calls and I don't care what good they do for the families of people who die in the line of police duties. They chose that career and they have the option to get their own health and life insurance. My husband is in the Army and I would never expect others to pay me if he dies at work...that is why we have life insurance.

Got a call from a man collecting for protection for police officers. He was very annoyed when I said I wasn't interested in getting any literature from him. He started with intimidation like "Don't you want to help police..." and I hung up on him. 3/26/09

I get calls from this number (John H. Farrell on caller ID) all the time. I never answer it because I don't answer unless I know who is calling. Has been calling my number several times over past 15 months. Finally decided to do backward phone lookup to see who John Farell is and came up with this site and others. And Yes, Police Protective Fund is a fraud. I called police department and asked about them once years ago. Not related in anyway to Police Departments.

He has been calling me all week

These people call all the time and when you tell them that you can't afford a donation they respond with thanks a lot and hang up on you. This is a national organization but they were investigated years ago in Maryland because of their high operating exspenses and the fact that the police never had a record of receiving money from them. They will tell you that 85% of what they collect go to the police. BULL! Don't donate to this scam.

I let the answering machine pick up and no message was left.

they called and my wife politely declined to give them money. They said "EFF YOU" and they hung up. very rude.

Called, no message.

No calls from anyone by that name, but with such an uncommon and specific spelling, gotta wonder if someone isn't cyber-stalking this girl? There are too many cases where bogus info has been posted, solely to "get even" with a mark, to shed a bad light on a person's name. Recently, the Supreme Court came down hard on those who use the internet to anonymously post untruths. There are penalties for this kind of thing. Beware!

"Mike" from the Police Protection Fund was horribly rude. I will never, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, donate to his cause.
