Default Re: Charitable Giving

Yes! It's about time.

These are those ones that use telemarketing soundboards (the ones that say, "Do I sound that bad? Hahahaha" if you ask if they're robots). I thought that they ran a few others, including one for MS and some others, but maybe those ones are just knockoffs. This Tampa Bay Times project is very good at keeping track of fraudulent charities, so you can see a bunch of them there.

This isn't good enough, though. Those people are real bags of shit, and if you just let them walk away without serious personal repercussions, they're going to continue doing this sort of thing. And the thing is, too, that once someone discovers a fraud that works well, other people come in and bite it as well, so it never really goes away until there's some real, serious personal risk to it.
