Hi Karen, The Police Welfare Association does not exist. (Google search and you will see there either used to be organisations by this name, there are ones in other counteies, not Australia, with the name, or there are current, legitimate organisations with similar, yet different names.) Similarly the Police Citizen's Youth Club and numerous other entities which claim to be calling from this number do not exist. In my case, these fraudsters have called numerous times, the latest one today. They usually state they are calling on behalf of either Victoria Police or the Australian Police (they don't know what it is really called), as well as one of these organisations. I have confirmed, in the past, with both the Australian Federal Police and Victoria Police that they NEVER raise money by cold calling the public. PLEASE do not give them money.

I wish i never gave birth to Kathy the little brat. She stole $3438 off her elderly grandmother and has herpes from all the one night stands she has. She also thinks Pauline Hanson should be Prime Minister

Just had a call from these jokers. Calling from the local "Neighbourhood Watch Association" wanting to confirm that I was the "business owner".
When I asked "Which business?" they hung up on me.
