Just got a telemarketing call from American Vets Donation Services" guy had trouble with the name and I never heard of it. Is it a real charity or one of the many scam calls that have been going around lately?
If you have caller ID type the phone number that called in to google or go to 800notes.com - sounds like a scam to me. You're better off looking online for a respected veterans' charity and donating directly. I never give donations to anyone that calls--about 90% of them are scams, and the ones that aren't pay telemarketers WAY too high a percentage of your donation towards their bill for telemarketing.
My neighbors have donated to them. They put piles of stuff out by the mailbox for pickup. A few times I have seen a guy come to pick stuff up and was not impressed. He would pick thru and only take certain things and just leave the rest there. I feel it should be a take all or nothing kind of thing.
