State Lodge Closes the Door on Telemarketing

As of January 1, 2010, The Fraternal Order of Police, Illinois State Lodge no longer uses telemarketing as a means of fundraising for the organization. Recently, we have found that there are telephone solicitation scams that are using the Fraternal Order of Police name in order to gain trust from the public and attempt to acquire money and personal information. Please be wary of phone solicitation. Some local lodges still use telemarketing for their donation request efforts, but they should be happy to provide you with any information you ask of them in trying to ascertain the legitimacy of their fundraising campaign.

A request may be made to be placed on a “Do Not Call List” and in the event of scam we ask that you contact the Illinois Attorney General’s Office of Consumer Fraud at 800-386-5438 (Chicago) 800-844-5461 (Springfield) or 800-243-0607 (Carbondale). If you have any questions or concerns about a potential FOP telemarketing call, please do not hesitate to call our office at 800-522-2677.
