Default *****fraud Alert*****              Go to Top

I know this came up last year (i think) but it seems to be happening again...

While working for a Nassau Department I received a phone call from a community resident asking if we now call for Fund Drive donations, I stated to her I am not a member of the department but as far as I know they only do door to door, she then said that is how it has been for the last 52 years she lived here and she has always donated that way and was a little suspicious of the phone call. The person who called her claimed to be from "XYZ Fire Department Firefighter & Paramedic Association" she asked if they were members of XYZ Department and they said yes. She then proceeded to tell them that she always donates and they said great we will send you a confirmation # and just mail back a check made out to "Firefighter & Paramedic Association" She must have received the letter today and called the department I was working at. I made the chief of the department know about the situation and he is going to follow up.. I remember last year this came up and then I received a phone call regarding the same thing @ another Nassau Department.

So Spread the word....

Here is the information she gave me from the letter
Mailing Address
Firefighter & Paramedic Association
911 Central Avenue PMB 121
Albany, NY

Their phone # is 1-888-775-7789

They answer the phone "Fund Raiser"

from the Uniformed Firefighters Association
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

False Solicitors in Our Name
An organization allegedly known as the "Firefighters Assistance Foundation" is making phone calls soliciting contributions, claiming the money will go to firefighters. When asked for a tax ID number, they cannot or do not answer. They claim the charity is in White Plains but the phone calls come from a location on New Utrecht Avenue in Brooklyn. We were able to get a phone number for them: 1-888-775-7789. Please inform your friends and family that the UFA does not make solicitous calls

If you type that phone number into google, it brings up people soliciting from breast cancer to firefighters to police officers.

Everyone should call these bags of S*it and tell them what we think of them.
