WHO THE F*** ARE YOU NORTH BERGEN POLICE DEPT . STAY IN YOUR  1 MILE CITY LIMITS . YOU GUYS REMIND ME OF MAYBERRY IN THE MIDDLE OF A MEGA CITY . BUNCH OF TICKET WRITIN CLOWNS . THEY HAVE BEEN DOING THAT FUNDRAISER FOR 20 YEARS NOW  ANY REAL COP KNEW THE LATE OFFICER JACK CYMBALIK  KNOWS . IF YOU DONT KNOW WHAT YOURE TALKIN ABOUT . KEEP YOUR WORDS IN YOUR MOUTH . I HEARD SOME REAL S**T ABOUT NORTH BERGEN COPS TOO . ALLEGATIONS OF CORRUPTION . DOES THAT MEAN ITS REAL .

Now he said his name is Jone Harris....  I remember his voice....  He has been calling me for years... He said he is from Jersey city police...  his number is always "private call".  Be careful...

Some of the people that posted here are not being truthfull. We are currently investigating this type of activity. As a rule you should only donate to your local police fire ems ect.....These agencies never solicit over the phone. ScamThere are plenty scammers out there and this may be one.If not then call the North Bergen Police Department and set up an appointment so we can verify that you are a legit organization.I personally doubt that anyone will call.By the way the caller this time came to a place of business he claimed his name was Scott McKinney. When the merchant called the police the suspect fled on foot.

The new caller for this same number states his name as  James Costello from the City of Jersey City at 201-795-5059 x37, extremely rude and loud and ill mannered.

Someone called me from this 201-795-5059 x37 saying their name was James Costello from the City of Jersey City. I wonder why they keep doing this.

This is a scam. Their address is not affiliated with the Jersey City PAL. They use a name "Police Activity League of Jersey City" which looks legit, but the real charity is Jersey City PAL. The address 123 Town Square is a UPS Post office box. The real address that you should send any donation to is 163 Old Bergen Road. If you have any second guesses... call them at 201-434-3366, They do NOT have any annual program for business' that donate. These callers are rude, obnoxious and are all about a check. They are not about the kids that the donations are supposed to help.

I received the same call and since we have an office in Jersey City and Mike Russo said it was a matter of public safety I listened, but they did not answer as such when I called back to verify.  I called Jersey City and reported it and they were going to look into it.

I received a voice mail from Les Michaels asking me to call 201-795-5059 x36.  Based on above comments, I decided there was no reason to return the call.  My caller id said the call was coming from 908-925-0726

I CHECKED IT OUT IT IS LEGIT. IF YOU ARE EVER IN DOUBT CALL THE POLICE DEPT AND VERIFY , THATS ALL. ITS NOT THAT HARD.

This time he is using the name of Joe Carbone, not Mike Russo. Same number from an arrogant voice pretending to be from "City of Jersey City". Be aware !!

GOT A CALL FROM THEM WANTED TO CHECK IT OUT , THEY INVITED ME DOWN FOR COFFEE AND BISCOTTI,THE ONLY THING I WANNA KNOW IS WHERE THE HELL DO THEY GET THEIRE BISCOTTI. SEEN THE WORK THEY DO WITH SOME OF THE INNER CITY KIDS , I SHOULD OF BEEN SO LUCKY TO HAVE GUYS LIKE THESE ON MY SIDE ! REMEMBER THE COMPLIMENTS FORGET THE INSULTS GUYS, KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK AND GOD BLESS YOU!

got a call from them also , checked it out with the pd. its official.this is a legitimate program. i think people sshould check with  the department that says is calling. that way the idiots who post comments that dont know what they are talking about hurt our local charities. i gave 3500 and i know it went where they said it was going to go, i unlike some of the people who made a comment here didnt. check your facts.before you say any old thing.

I know mike russo personally and can assure you he does a great deal for many of the local charities.  He makes a lot of calls and sometimes people can get off on the wrong foot.

you know Mike Russo?  Well you better tell him to change his tactics.  Because any office manager or assistant would not let a guy with his atitutde and lack of info thru to the CEO of a company.  If he truly works for any charity - NOT!, then they need to hire someone new!

Mike Russo phone today, was really rude, says he's from the Jersey City Police Dept. Please be aware!  201-795 is in Jersey City but a home in the heights.

I also received a call from 201-795-5059 Mike Russo. He sounded annoyed, was rude and short with me, and was not answering my questions about the details of his call. I know better then to pass a call like this to my boss. If he is really asking for money for a charity, this is the wrong way to do it. Charities do not treat people this way; this sounds like a scam.

I guy named Michael Russo or Mike Russo called our company and acted rude, and he was very short with me - not answering my questions about the purpose of his call. He sounds like a scammer. Real charities are transparent about their purpose, and do not act like they are hiding something. Beware of this guy!

I received that call too. Said his name was Joe Carbone and was working for Frank Williams. I asked for a mailing address and was given 123 Town Square Place JC 07310, A UPS store. I don't buy that they have an office in the UPS Store. Scam?

I AM PERSONAL FRIENDS WITH MIKE RUSSO, HE DOES ALOT OF GREAT WORK FOR THE LOCAL CHARITIES.HE WAS PROBABLY HAVING A BAD DAY. IF YOU HAD TO TALK TO SOME OF THE PEOPLE HE HAS TO .YOUD BE THE SAME WAY.

A man called with an attitude and asked to speak with my boss.  He said his name was Mike Russo.  I told him my boss was travelling and he said he was told that my boss was supposed to return today.  I said he wouldn't return for some time and I could take a message.  He provided his phone number:  201-795-5059 x37.  He sounded annoyed and very urgent.  My boss actually called the guy and told me "Mike Russo" also had the same annoyed attitude.  Mike was being really pushy trying to get my boss to donate to his charity.  If we donated, Mike would send someone to our office to pick up the check (most likely to avoid providing us with his mailing address).  Also - he said all these other companies donated thousands to his charity.  It sounds to me like a big scam.  I looked up this number on the web and it belongs to someone with a different name.
