Amazing Pictures: Making Money Scams

It feels good to give to needy organizations, whether it's a homeless shelter or a firefighter's charity. But how would it feel to know that most of the money you donated went to the telemarketing company making the call?

Oregon Attorney General John Kroger released a list of what he calls the 20 Worst Charities, hoping that consumers would make sure to avoid scams and give money to those groups who actually put it to good use."In the middle of a recession, it is more important than ever that generous Oregonians make charitable contributions to organizations that help veterans and others who are in need," said Kroger.

"It is critical, however, that people donate wisely. Although many charities do great work, some are little more than scams with good-sounding names but that do little to actually help the people they claim to support."

Charity guidelines usually dictate that they spent at least 65% of the money they collect on their programs. But every charity on the list devotes less than 25% of what they get to the people or activity they're supposed to be collecting the money for.

Kroger pointed out that California-based organization Shiloh International Ministries -- which is supposed to use its money providing help to children, veterans and the homeless -- actually spends 96% of its donations on management and fundraising.

The California-based nonprofit spent an average of $1,023,215 per year.

Other charities Kroger highlighted include:

Association for Firefighters and Paramedics, based in California

Korean War Veterans National Museum & Library, based in Illinois

Foundation for American Veterans, based in Michigan

Big Hope, in South Carolina

Law Enforcement Education Program, in Michigan

National Vietnam Veterans Foundation, in Virginia

Dogs Against Drugs/Dogs Against Crime, in Indiana

Firefighters Charitable Foundation, in New York

Committee for Missing Children, in Georgia

The Wishing Well Foundation, in Louisiana

Keep these tips in mind when donating and check out the state's database for its take on specific charities. Check out the IRS's website to make sure it's tax deductible.

Don't give to unregistered charities

Do your research.

Resist impulse decisions to donate.

Do not donate cash.

If you don't remember a pledge, you probably didn't make one.

Be leery of sweepstakes for charity.

Contact the charity directly.

Don't give personal or financial information over the phone.

Reduce the number of unwanted solicitations by registering your number on the Do-Not-Call List.

Make sure your gift is tax-deductible.

Obama is history!

Obama was always a one term show!

any political strategist knows few black candidates win statewide re-elections, no black candidates wins re-election win he or she pisses off their liberal base.

Obama was always a Clarence Thomas Clone, Obama knew that a black conservatives never would win the White House, so he done a Reagan, “ACTED” like he was a Democrat. (Reagan acted like he was a President, History will say Reagan started the decline of the USA)

The MSM final act with OBAMA is to make sure no real Democrats primary this clown! (the games have already begun, listen closely, Obama always beats Palin, does Obama beat Romney? NO!!!)

the target of the intelligent left should be the 23 democrat senators up for re-election in 2012!
