It's ridiculous for someone to think you would divulge your personal identifying information over the phone to a complete stranger, right? Wrong. Scammers are fast-talking, sentence-spinning individuals who can quickly confuse the most savvy of consumers. So make a point of NEVER giving out your information. Make a habit of quickly saying "no thank you" and hanging up the phone.

At the California Statewide Law Enforcement Association (CSLEA), we are passionate about consumer protection and public safety. It is that passion that led to the creation of the CSLEA Foundation.
The CSLEA Foundation is a non-profit organization that relies solely on tax-deductible donations from generous companies and individuals who value the immense need for public safety and consumer protection professionals, as well as the need for educational seminars to assist groups and individuals who scam artists target the most, such as seniors, veterans and immigrants.
