Think Carefully when donating over the phone
Everyday I get phone calls from call centres asking to donate monies to their worthy causes. The problem is I can't get proof whether these are legitmate callers from non-profit organisations or scammers. Never give your personal details to a complete stranger. Find out as much as you can from these groups. Get the phone number, web address form the charity organisation they are calling on behalf for. Always ask to speak to their supervisor.
Do the checks dont't get caught.
Unfortunately, there are legitmate Charity organisation's trying raise a buck so that they can help those in need of their service.
