Yeah, my sense is a lot of these are scams. The FOP is a legitimate organization, but that doesn't mean teh fundraiser is actually connected to them. THe times someone from the "FOP" has called, they've been unwilling to provide anything by mail to confirm who in fact they are.

Right you are. My local police and fire departments go out of their way to notify people that neither they nor their union/fraternal organizations solicit, yet we still get calls. I had one guy call me at the office from some nameless organization (not the FOP), then when I questioned the authenticity of his organization and suggested they mail me something he got all mouthy with me. Naturally I hang up if they refuse to prove to me they are legitimate.
