ILLINOIS ASSOCIATION OF CHIEFS OF POLICE

I got a call today from the same number. What is interesting is that 309 329 is the code for my home town, Astoria, IL. After asking the caller about Astoria, he switched me to another line. Then I figured it could be a scam. I gave then no information. Then I called the county sheriff and gave them the data and their reply was it seems to be a scam. A lot of such scams are happening now and any real police operation would not call you.

Phone rang once, then hung up. I called ghe number, where a guy told me he was with the "Illinois Association of Chiefs of Police" – sounds pretty sketchy to me. He offered to send me a "pledge kit" to make a donation, then transferred me over to their "processing department," who pressured me to give them my credit card number. I refused, whereupon they said they'll send the kit if I promised to send them a donation by check. I gave them a fake name and my real address and told them to send the kit. I'd like to have a look at their "kit" and how they're running this scam.
