Do Not Donate Over The Phone - Period

I work for a non profit here in OHIO. We call and ask for donations for the Ohio Troopers. Our call center is on Chillicothe St in Portsmouth not Columbus like they want you to think. Your donation does not go to your state troopers it go to lobbyist organazations. The main evil of this scam is CDG .Our AG had them in court but to no avail. The AG approved our scripts and  agreed to everything we say and don't say. Just DO YOURSELF a favor and NEVER give over the phone.

Heres a tip - Once introduced and only after- tell /demand them to remove you from ALL CALL LIST. Or if you want to really hurt them you can make fake donations,the higher the better. Then of cousre be removed from the list.

 They have so many ways to get your number don't sell it to them with your donation. Once you make a donation you go on a list that's bigger than you could ever imagine.

Don't quit giving locally to drives or to charities you know. WBNS exposed the Ohio Troopers Coalition for 6% of the dollar going to charity and all day long OHIO gives to what they think are the families of 4 dead troopers. They call every holiday and every sunday you cannot escape it unless you tell them to never call the number again.

Tell your parents and grandparents to never give over the phone/please for gods sake they will harrass your parents to no end. The elderly give the most often, its very sad.

Non proifits are scams these days. OTC is not tax deductible because of a 501c5 IRS code,

Basically its all to hide the fact that your money isn't being used for what you are being told. OHIO has made CDG very wealthy. Yes OHIANS your donations in part are in New Jersey.

No polition will touch this issue its up to the people. Don't attack me ither because I am telling you how you can stop this from happening. to you and the ones you love. This is the new age in comminication and if everyone of you do their part I should see donations drop and I'll let you know.

Simply don't donate on the phone and you'll be fine. All day long people give the OTC and Retired Troopers their donations on credit cards its unreal how large a scam this truly is. If you could see inside that place and see what goes on, it would make you ill.( many centers in OHIO)

Its all legal though, THE AG approves what this fundraising center does and the many more like it. The total for that one office for 07 was like 26,898.00 $ with only as little as 6% of your dollar going to charity. Oh yes now they say 50 50. They rebuttle every question you got there is an answer for everything.

Please spread the word

DO NOT DONATE TO ANYONE WHO CALLS YOU.

Yes they are starting to call cells now, so remember wait for them to identify themselves and demand off of the list. Don't ask.
