Although technically not a scam, when I get a call requesting a donation to the fraternal order of police or firefighters or the like, I always break into their shpiel and ask "what percentage of the money you collect goes to the organization?"
More often than not the response is "a full 15% (or even less) goes......" at that point I break in again and say "I'll just give my money to the next police officer I see-thank you" and hang up.


I didn't realize that. Where does the rest go? Some CEO's paycheck?

These are companies hired to raise money. So the employees need to get paid for making the calls, the overhead of the business, and the boss/owner etc.

Legally, they must tell you the % that goes to the organization-if you ask. So I ask before wasting my time listening.
