It depends on the charity. I give to St. Jude's because I know it's legit. I also give to some animal rescue organizations (aside from the one I run known as my house LOL). I used to give to the Highway Patrol solicitors, but I stopped because a highway patrolman I know told me that some of those are scams. I had a really fun--that was sarcasm--conversation with someone from a charity. They called and asked for someone, a wrong number. So, they continued with, "Maybe you can help out" and went into their spill. I told him I had no way to know that his organization was legitimate and he said, "You've given before." I said, "No I haven't." And he said, "That's why we have you're number." I said, "You don't have MY number. You asked for Mrs. Jones" or whatever her name was. He hung up on me. I don't give out any info over the phone either.
