JAK productions is absolutely the most shady company i have ever worked for!
We call people basically pretending to be law enforcement to trick them into giving money, we don't say we are police but we
are not allowed to say we are not unless asked. we also commit multiple FTC violations on a daily basis.
Here is a script that we use:
----------------------------------
mr/ms
example: mr/ms Big Chump
(we say hello and the other person says hello back, thats how we know if its a man or a woman)
hello, hello..
hello
this is Big Scamer calling on behalf of the colorado police protective association
::PAUSE:: (they usually say 'yes?')
Mr. Chump, the officers want to remind you to buckle up for safety and most importantly please remind your friends and family not to drink and drive.
Mr Chump, the officers are conducting there 200x fund drive and the proceeds will be used for the DEATH BENEFITS for the familys of officer who die in the line of duty along with some other wonderful programs like the bullet proof vest program to protect the officers.
as a paid solicitor with J.A.K. I'm going to send you the 200x CPPA decal that way you can show your great support to the officers.
the donation levels are the gold at 45 the silver is 35 and the bronze is 25 this year.
I will go ahead and put you down for the 35 unless you want to reach up and touch the gold or silver this year, does the 35 sound fair enough to you?
rebutle 1: Mr , not only does the cppa provide death benefits but it also provides a scollarship program for the sons and daughters of the officers. now can the officers count on you for a goodwill pledge of 20.
rebutle 2: Mr Chump can the officers count on you for a booster pledge of 15 or 12?
--------------------------
IF YOU NEVER WANT TO BE CALLED AGAIN andIf you would like to help combat this scam, tell the caller what he wants to hear, sure go ahead and put me down for the GOLD. at this point you can give them a fake addr or give them your correct addr and receive a free cppa decal for your vehicle. YOU DO NOT HAVE TO PAY ONE RED CENT! and if you don't pay the pledge/donation you will receive a call in 2 to 3 months and this is the script:
---------------------
Mr Chump, you were contacted a few months ago and you made a very generous commitment to the CPPA
a letter and a decal were sent to you and also a second letter, however the CPPA has yet to receive your donation
now perhaps you lost the pledge kit or didn't receive it, or for some unforeseen reason you were unable to send it back.
Mr Chump do you remember receiving the pledge kit or decal?
Thats ok Mr chump, the reason im calling is try to reduce your original pledge to a much lower amount of $17 and get you a new package out in the mail.
I'm sure that would be more comfortable for you correct?
rebutle 1: well Mr Chump, your support is greatly relied upon, how bout i put you down for a goodwill booster of 15 or 12?
-------------------------------
When you make a phone pledge of say $25, your pledge kit will arive and say either $35 or $45
If you do pay the donation, you will be called by several other charitable organizations using many different names like
firefighters, war vets, police...all owned by J.A.K.
we also use scam lines like:
child protection program
child fingerprint program
children of officers who are killed or injured in the line of duty
officers violently killed
all are free to contact me, i can provide all scrips (amvets, CPPA, F.O.P, etc.)
photo's of work terminals, scripts, rebuttle forms...
Here's a little shocking news for you readers. JAK productions stands for John Abraham Keller (this is not his birth name) Mr
keller is not a resident of the united states... Mr Keller is from... the middle east...
and 85% to 97% of every thing you give as a donation, doesnt go to help any one but the middle east, and we all know what
happens when a middle easterner gets a little extra money.....
if you would like to call the office that called you
parkersburg wv office
(304) 422-9363
wheeling wv office
(304) 232-0577
I kept getting these calls so I picked up and I thought maybe I should give to the state troupers - I mean they do a great job, right? so I said sure and then they transfer you to a police office, they say, who then asks you for more money than you said you'd give at first and he sounded a little strange to me. He was like "can't you afford to give just 5, 10 or 20 dollars more" and " the state troupers risk their lives for your benefit" and they do but I was afraid because of the way he sounded that they would do something to me if I said no - they know where you live, they know what kind of car you drive, etc.. anyway I would not give my credit card over the phone so they mailed me an envelope. I was all set to mail it off tomorrow but now I am tearing up the check and envelope. It all seemed too fishy to begin with and most importantly - THEY KEEP CALLING, OVER AND OVER AGAIN. I feel sorry for the State Troupers. They probably need out help but this has got to be a scam since they keep calling and at all hours. Don't fall prey like I did - JUST DO NOT PICKUP THE PHONE IF IT SAYS UNAVAILABLE OR PRIVATE NUMBER. PERIOD.
I have received everyday twice to four calls from " unknown caller" . They never record message but they remain calling every day. What to do???
Skyped this number and got a fast busy.
Its a ripoff fund raising outfit. Give directly to your local FOP if you feel the need. M
this number just call and call and call.
I am in IN. I emailed them & got a response that I am now white-listed.
888-815-0011 just called. I don't answer the phone with an hello when it comes to unknown callers... If they don't speak & I don't recognize the voice I hang up immediately.
THIS NUMBER CALLED MY HOUSE AT 6:20PM ON A SUNDAY
WONDER WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO THE "DO NOT ME" LIST?
called and asked for my parents by name and then hung up when i said they were not avaliable he hung up
It is a legitimate organization authorized to raise funds for the FOP. However, once they have your number, they generally will not stop calling, regardless of your requests. Too bad. Now I don't want to donate anymore.
Just noticed the several comments above me are also in Virginia like me. Very odd. Although, I have had one of these scam "Police Assoc." fundraiser places call for Virginia State Troopers in the past. Same thing w/ Colorado -- they keep almost all of the money they collect. I wonder if it's the same company trying to "collect" for more than one state. You'd be better off giving directly to a state troopers assoc or Fraternal Order of Police.
Hung up shortly after I picked up.
I'm in VA, too & got a call from this # this am...8:15 am!...did not answer as CI said name "not provided". No message left. I'm on the Do Not Call list as well.
I'm in Va also. They did not say they were from Colorado. Just fund raising for Police.
I receive multiple calls in one morning. I did not answer, and so it seems they keep trying!
Multiple calls - never leaves message
They have been calling non stop for weeks now. They finally called while I was here (in VA Kim) I told them I was unable to donate and they still keep calling. I just used the email sky provided to get out of the data base. Hope it helps.
I'm in Virginia, why are they calling me?
Ditto what Tom said. Unheard-of outfits like this typically keep most of the money they raise. It is basically a scam. I am on the Do Not Call list but they exploit the loophole.
Have received calls from this organization from multiple numbers including 888-782-0007 and 866-724-0017 Did not leave messages
