I think whenever I make a donation from now on, I would like to donate anonymously.
I’m not very political, but I made ONE political donation a couple years back and ever since my phone is spammed almost daily with texts for more money. I think they change the number they send from so I don’t know if blocking would do any good.
I still receive snail mail and emails from charities I donated to from when I was psychotic years ago.
The most baffling one though, is the scientology stuff I get in the mail. I read “Dianetics” when I was like 20 years old. 30 years ago. And regardless of how many times I move, they always find me and send me new mail about scientology.
I must become invisible to these people…
How about you? What companies, charities, etc hound you for money and/or membership?
I get letters and e-mails from charities I have sponsored in the past. I also get the occasional text or call to ‘invest’ my money. I hang up pretty quickly.
I made a donation to a YMCA and the Concordia Language villages because I used to steal from them. Now they send me monthly letters asking for more donations. I don’t even open the letters anymore, I just put them in the paper recycling box in the garage. That’s what I get for stealing.
