Phone Fundraisers

         I hate phone solicitors. I know they're just trying to make a living. They work on commission. But it is a lousy job. Their employers make a larger percentage than they do. I hate having most or all of my contribution go to their organization instead of the designated charity. I don't mean to be mean, but I just hang up on these people now. I can't tell the scammers from the real thing. I don't have time to do the research while they are on the phone. I don't want to waste time arguing. I hang up.

         Too many bad organizations and outright thieves have ruined phone solicitation. The honest ones will just have to find some other way. They won't get anything over the phone from me. I encourage others to be just as hard hearted. Give to charity, but only to ones you trust and have researched.
