Caller asked if I would accept a pledge to make a donation to help breast cancer patients.  I said sure and asked if they would mail it to me.  Caller asked how about a lower amount, $15?  I said that's fine, but I prefer to donate via mail with a check. Caller said she understood, hoped I'd have a nice day and hung up.   Now what legitimate charity refuses to collect donations by mail?  Think if I had handed out payment information over the phone, I might of seen a couple of extra zeros on that $15 donation...  My verdict, scam. Never give payment info over the phone unless you are 100% sure you know whose on the other end.
