Scammers Posing as Charities

There are a lot of them. Here are fifty.

If you get a cold call from any charity, it's a reasonable bet it's a scam. And if it's a charity that claims to support lw enforcement, it's a dead-nuts certainty.

I'm kind of surprised that the Komen goons aren't on there, what with them paying the president/founder several hundred thousand a year and spending only 15% of what they raise on cancer research.

  1. While that breast cancer foundation wasn't on the list, there was a surprising number of cancer foundations on that list. And a surprising number of veterans' foundations.

    Guillotines. That's what we're building up to, here in Griftopia. Sigh.

    In the meantime, my charitable giving goes to a local soup kitchen that has a single paid employee (the rest are volunteers) and to the Salvation Army, which I dislike for their goofy religious policies but at least in our area is very important in providing services for the homeless. I can walk into the soup kitchen and see where my money is going. I can walk over to the homeless shelter and see where my money is going. Somebody cold-calling... well. Not so much.
