Do u really believe this was Atlanta Firefighters? Even if it was, never donate to phone solicitors. The solicitor gets most of the money and the charity can receive as little as 20%. Happened to me w a Christian orgn. Ask the solicitator exactly how much they get and what the charity gets. They usually won't tell you. Firefighters and Sheriff/Law Enforcement Officers don't need our money to survive! Their families are well covered w insurance, if killed in line of duty.
Currently, unless changed, family of military killed in line of duty receive $600,000. My church was taking up an offering for such a family, not knowing they received "anything"!
Don't let people scam you thru phone or mail.
Give, but know where all of it is going, but never give by phone or unknown P.O. Box nrs!! I tell every caller: " I don't respond to ANY phone solicitations "....
