While they posted it under an editorial banner the information is truly an eye-opener nonetheless. Did you know (and in reading the story you'll find out) according to the American Cancer Society that if a phone solicitor calls on their behalf and you make a donation, ZERO of that money went to fight cancer or to cancer research. No, all that money just went to pay the telemarketer who called you. Sadly there are many other organizations who happily look the other way while money pledged to them is eaten alive by telemarketing companies.
Angry yet?
Good,
read on and learn to simply tell anyone calling you, no matter no good the charity may sound, no. The money you think you're giving is going almost always to the telemarketer or the company employing them. You'll also learn why organizations let so much money pledged to help a cause go to these telemarketing companies. It's called weak any way you slice it.
