"F" the donations, I say ! ! ! ..... Don't have any FREE money to spread around to anyone, anymore. Especially if there is no feedback or retribution for a donation....Much of my feelings are because of SCAM crap by some obnoxious, illiterate and demeaning creeps that want to SCAM others using falsehoods and demeaning methods to do so.
To bad for the legitimate others whereby CREEPS and A' holes like this ruin the gift of giving for positive others. Despicable at best so I give more to my church where I can see a positive result. Last week, I took a Veteran to dinner, a movie and popcorn. Oh and his family too. Got more out of that and so did he.. Think of this as you ponder about your donations.
CID said Housing Our Heroe. Ans mach picked up and it was a recorded msg asking for donations to House Our Veterans "here in Utah". Yeah, as if I'm going to do that when I live in Michigan. I'm with Suzee. I don't answer calls from people and/or numbers I don't know and especially if that information is blocked. CID is worth every penny I pay each month. This is the first call I have had with a recorded msg. I didn't listen to the rest of the msg.
Yesterday CID said HousingOurHeroe, today said H. O. H. Msg left was a recording and said "If you have been thinking of donating..." before I cut it off.
I received a call this morning and it showed up on my phone as H.O.H. I let my answering machine pisk it up and they just hung up. I am getting these call now for over a month now and getting pretty tired of it. I am on the Do Not Call List. That doesn't seen to even stop them from call us. So what can we do to put a stop to it?
I have been getting long distance calls almost every day on my home phone from one "charity" or another today it was H.O.H. I also only donate to local charities when I am able to donate. I think all of those phone calls are scams! I did call back a couple of the numbers and got a recording that stated I could be put on their Do not call list if I "pressed any key on my phone." I have also been getting some calls on my cell phone every since I provided my cell phone number for for my Google & Hotmail/Live email accounts. They hounded me for it "so they can text my pass word in case I forget it." I wish I hadn't given it out so they can burn through my minutes leaving messages begging for money! Perhaps it is just a coincidence that I began to receive unwanted calls on my cell phone soon after providing my number to their "secure" site...
