Charity registered in Oregon which has some serious issues and is under Oregon DOJ scrutiny. BLOCKED
http://www.oregonlive.com/health/index.ssf/20 ... rity_found.html
Caller ID said Autism Awareness, but rings only twice and never leaves a message; so they are going straight to the call blocker from now on because this is the 3rd time they have called. I believe the call is from Texas.
Called @ 1904. Caller ID= Autism Awareness. Did not answer. For those persons who get these "Charity" calls in FL, this information may be of help. It's from the Florida Department of Agriculture-
Check out a Charity Before Donating
Ask the charity or organization why it is asking for donations and what purpose will be served.
Florida law gives the prospective donor the right to request and receive a copy of a charity's
financial report before donating. You can also use our Check-A-Charity tool at
FreshFromFlorida.com to view a charity’s financial information and current registration
status, or call 1-800-HELP-FLA (435-7352). Be aware that many telephone appeals for funds
are made by paid solicitors, not volunteers. Telemarketing is expensive and may entail substantial
fundraising costs. Ask the solicitor what portion of your donation will be retained by the charity.
