thanks helpful...

This is a  scam, boiler room operation. I received a call a couple of days ago from the United States Armed Forces Associatoion, other calls from the Montgomery County Disabled Policeman's Association and the Navy Veterans Association. They sound legit but are scams. They want your credit card and banking info and these cockroaches will drain you dry. Beware, scams are popping up everywhere.

This is not necessarily true,

They are not "scams" in that some of the money does go to whatever organization they are claiming to be affiliated with. The police or fire or veterans or whatever allows them to use their name, and then is given usually 70 percent of what is collected. They don't ever really ask for your credit cards or anything over the phone, just that you leave a check out for them, or mail it in. Depending on county, sometimes they have actual police come and pick it up, or just some guy that the police give credentials to pick it up on their behest. It's basically just free money to them for no effort. If you have a problem with how your local police fundraises,  bring it up with them, but to call these people "scam artists" and "parasites" is a little unjust.
