Questionable Charity Callers
Many telephone solicitors operate just within the law by calling consumers asking for donations to various charities. In many of these cases, the fund-raiser for the charity keeps most of the money to cover "expenses" and the charity, perhaps a local organization supporting the police, for example, gets very little. While there are some legitimate charities that do telephone solicitation, you are better off investigating the charity very carefully before you give them any of your money. The best charities are always open to scrutiny. Next Section: Service Contracts Public Services II: Chapter Home
