Yep, its probably the best scam out there. Relying on the emotions of a few gullible people who just want to help is priceless. They dont call them con artists for nothing, and they have mastered this art very well.
I never give to charities that are very pushy, i smell a scam there every time. I remember they used to come to our old workplace to ask money for some orphans, and they showed us pictures and stuff like that. They seemed like very pushy, but they didnt even give an address where the orhphans were or any substantial details about their organization, for what i can tell they could have printed up some google pictures of kids, so I instantly smelled a scam there. My colleagues looked at me as if I were a cheap schmuck that doesnt help people, but lemme tell you, i dont really like scammers.
If I want to donate, I do, but only on my terms, these charity scams are really annoying.
To me it was a suprise to hear that charity are on the stock exchange.
And they even lost milions in there!!
To me that is fraud, and should be stopped asap.
I mean i never hear someone sayd....
Hello goodmorning.
DO you have some money to paid the 200000 salary of our CEO, and other workers.
Than they can spend one third of your money to the victims of the cancer......
And the rest of the money we use it in stock exchance.
Then atleast they are honest!
If you ask me, we cant help the hole world but if you want to help, then a smile , a hand, a yes or your attention around you, is more then good enough to create a better world for you and me.
