Charities are allowed to call under the Do Not Call List law. Even those charities that keep 99% of the money to cover operating expenses and give almost nothing to the charity.
I think its time to rewrite the Do Not Call law and make sure that only legit charities that give 100 percent of the money to the needy calls people. The 99 percent money eaters can go screw themselves like the rest of them crooks.
Received this call on 12/23/12. Did not pick up. Only information in the caller ID was the phone number and the word, Unassigned. The callercomplaints website has this number, 407-308-0073, listed as a
SPOOFED number. Posters from the callERcenter website are reporting many calls from this number recently. One poster said that a man on the line identified himself as a trooper with the FL PBA and that he was soliciting for donations for widows and children. Another man then got on the line and asked for a larger donation because of the poor economy and told the poster that the donation would not be tax
deductible. Possible scam.
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.
