The non-profit Seattle Police Foundation issued an important warning to its potential donors of an on-going telephone scam.
The Seattle Police Foundation, which helps fund important public safety programs initiated and administered by Seattle Police Department officers and staff, has had people report solicitation calls coming from someone ‘representing’ a fundraising effort in support of various law enforcement causes. Callers are specifically asked for credit card details, for donations. These calls have no affiliation with, or benefit to, the Seattle Police Foundation.
The Seattle Police Foundation insists it never has and never will cold call for donations. They raise money at clearly defined Foundation events. Please use care when choosing your philanthropy, and thank you for your donations to bona fide non-profit causes.
