I got a call on my cell from a random number and they were saying that they are calling from the Calgary Police Association and are looking for people to donate to the toy drive they are doing for underprivileged children. Mentioned they have a few different packages etc depending on the amount of donation. The guy was insisting and kept saying can the Calgary Police Association count on your support.
I probed him a little to give me some more information and if there is anything online I could look at. Then he goes I need to know if we can count on you and I can forward you to our verification department. Anyway, it sounded fishy as hell but I wasn't sure. Either way, I said no I am not giving out any information over the phone without being properly informed. The guy sounded very authoritative with a deep voice and spoke good English.
With all the recent scams and shit, I just didn't feel comfortable. Thought I'd post up and see if anyone else got any of these or has any information on if it's legit or not.
Edit: Did some googling and found this link;

Seems like it is an actual thing. But not sure why the guy couldn't give me some website where I could get more information on it or perhaps even the link I posted above.
