Mesa Police Department Cons, Frauds & Scams
Charitable Donations
May 2006 - The fire department is warning residents about con
artists calling residents pretending to be collecting on behalf of the
fire department. As with any other call that you receive asking for
money or personal information, please be careful and make sure the
caller is legitimate.
We have received concerns from residents about calls they have received about agencies collecting
donations for the police department. The Mesa Police
Department does not solicit for donations, however the various police
lodges across Arizona do have charity drives. They may call you and ask
for a pledge. To protect yourself from fraud, never give your credit
card number over the telephone. Ask the caller to send you something in
the mail and then you will consider a donation. If you have any
questions about a charity in Arizona, call the Secretary of State's
office to see if the charity is registered.
