209-320-9642 (CASON) is a company which solicits donations for various cause which hire them. My most recent call from them was 6/2/09 on behalf of Special Olympics. Anyone responding to such an appeal should realize that less than a third (sometimes much less) actually goes to the "Charity." Your dollars would be much more valuable if you sent it directly to the charity (look in the Yellow Pages). NEVER make a donation by phone using a credit card. You do not know who is really calling you and your information may be compromised or misused. The "Charity" may have a name that they have made up based on recent news events (like "Firemen's Families Fund" which supposedly was to help the "Families of Firefighters" in Southern CA. Your best response: let the number go to your answering machine. If you do answer it, don't engage in a dialogue with the fundraiser. Just say "I do not make contributions to phone solicitors" and hang up.
