Can we all agree that charity scams have a special place in Hell?
I just got a call from an unidentified number (my cell ALWAYS gives me identifier on anything legitimate). I rarely answer unidentified, but did answer this one. It was from the "Breast Cancer Research and Support Fund."
Their spiel was 10 seconds, just wanting to know if they could count on me for a donation. I said "Who?" and she reported the spiel.
Asked if they could count on me. I said "I don't know yet I've never heard of it and am looking it up right now," which was met by a click as she hung up.
A little research shows that according to their most recent filings, 87.5 % of what they raise goes to the solicitors just 12.5 % to any actual charity. And i wonder about that.

So...
Can I count you in for the Grand Vol House of Wayward and Morally Corrupted Collegiate Cheerleaders, Gymnasts and Volleyball Players of the Female Persuasion?
I tend to think it's a worthwhile charity though I cannot recommend the specific websites for you to do research.
