Fire department fundraising scam

I just got a call from someone claiming to be raising funds for the Prince George's County Fire Department.  Last year we got this call,  and when we checked it out with the PG County Fire Department, it was a scam.  Please warn your readers that if they get a phone call ( not a personal visit from the volunteer fire department, that is different)  it is most likely a scam.  If anyone ever asks you to leave a check taped to your door to be picked up it is definately a scam.
