It...Thanks for stopping by again, my dear Grace!!! It seems like a great mistake to me for a charity to go through a third-party call center to solicit donations. For the calls would probably be just another part of their job, just like calling with questions for a contracted survey or debt-collection--certainly nothing personal. Besides, the money they would be paying the call center should be going to the ones they are supposed to be trying to help.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16349087080262856079noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6794620494458886025.post-34058417043411977132011-10-31T16:17:29.807-05:002011-10-31T16:17:29.807-05:00I've gotten the calls on behalf of the state p...I've gotten the calls on behalf of the state police and another one for veterans (I think) Some of those people can be really rudeAnnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12886333496997952719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6794620494458886025.post-56332439782677390042011-10-31T09:44:13.207-05:002011-10-31T09:44:13.207-05:00I have an on-going battle with the VFW - these peo...I have an on-going battle with the VFW - these people spend more money on the crap they send in the mail than they probably get in donations. Plus if you do send them money not more than two weeks later they call asking for more. Really???<br /><br />I refuse to donate to "charities" that spend more money on solicitations than on doing good. <br /><br />And yes, those 3rd party solicitations - piss me off big time. In Virginia the state police hire such a company to make calls and excuse me but the state police are getting my tax money now they want me to send their kids to college? Are they kidding me? <br /><br />Oh dear I could go on and on - like I usually do but I've got a busy morning ahead :-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
