I know that you should always investigate a charity, business, etc. before donating/investing/giving money. One time some woman called claiming to be from a charity to help children with leukemia. She wanted me to make a pledge, but I said not until I investigated. She told me that she could send me some material with their website on it (as if their website would admit, "Yep, we're scammers!"), but I insisted, "No, I'm going to look it up on the computer." She reluctantly ended the conversation when I kept insisting. I checked it out, and sure enough, they're one of those bunches in which only a tiny percent goes to those in need. Scumbags.
