Telephone Solicitation
Beware of any organization soliciting cash or credit card donations by the telephone. Before you purchase from or donate to anyone soliciting by phone, check with the local Better Business Bureau or the State of California. Be sure to request the name of the company, the tax identification number and the name of the representative of the business that has called you. Even if a business is legitimate, it may not be permitted to solicit by telephone.
