(901) 266-3239

got the call and didn't answer.BTW, The Shriners donate only 15 centson the $1 to charity.

CAller asked for a check to send children to the Shrine Circus in Minneapolis, summer 2009. Asked me to write check to Zuhrah Shrine Circus and "for deposit only" on the back, leave it under the mat and a courier would pick it up, and leave a receipt with the their tax id. Is this legit? I can't find that the Shrine Circus is scheduled in Minneapolis in 2009.

03 17 08The number 901 266 3239 showed up on my caller ID. The name ****ingham & Mo---then cut off.I attempted to return the call and got busy signal.

caller said he was from Bell Ca***a and that i have had service with them in the past. I never had Bell service. I said I wasn't interseted and ***g up....they call my phone number at least 2 times daily

I also was called by the above phone number, but the caller ID read ****INGHAN & MO, NOT ****INGHAM & MO as I also first****umed when trying to verify it. I was also su****ious when I was instructed to leave the check under the doormat. I verified that this number is a valid number for ****inghan & Moore, a Memphis fund raising organization that works out of the Shriners Temple, 5770 N. Shelby Oaks Dr., Bartlett, TN 38134.  Their main phone is 266-4441.  Note: although they use these tickets to take kids from hospitals etc. to the circus, this donation is not tax deductible (which does not bother me.  Giving directly to Shriners hospitals is tax deductible as they have 501(c)foundation.  I am a Lion and know how hare it is to get the 501(c) designation, so we also have a foundation for our club, but donations directly to the local club are not tax deductible.I hope this helps.

Caller ID gave 901-266-3239 and ****ingham & Mo (cut-off).  A woman said she was "working for two Shriners," and wanted me to purchase tickets for the Al Chymia Shrine Circus.  She instructed me to write a check payable to Al Chymia, write of the back, "For Deposit Only," and place it under my front porch doormat for pickup later that night, or the next day.

This call comes through on our business phone all the time, and they ask to speak to the owner of the company, but never says any more than this.  These calls are very annoying!
