[nfbwatlk] strange phone call

[carl jarvis]

Hi Kaye,
It's something to be on guard against, but there are legit folks calling 
from their homes, soliciting money for various charities.  There are also 
the ones who think they can pick up a little spare money.
Not being able to tell one from the other, I tell the ones that we 
contribute to on a regular basis, to send us the information and a return 
envelope.
The folks who call with requests that we don't care to give to, we dismiss 
quickly.  I have no problem cutting into someone's sales pitch, and hurry 
them along to their next call.  I'm not rude, I just say, "Sorry" and hang 
up.
