Never give donations to a stranger who calls you. Might be a scammer. Might be a legit independent fund raiser who keeps 99% for themselves and sends 1% to the charity. Best to donate directly to the charity so they will get 100% of your donation.
This call came in at 1:20am E.T. When I answered there was no response. When I called back this morning is was pre-recorded music and they asked me to type in my phone number if I wanted to be put on the do not call list. I waited for a person and then the recording said the mailbox was full.
They called me, too. It's the Fraternal Order of Police wanting a donation. I think their computers must have malfunctioned last night. I received a call at 1am as well.
