We also got a call from this number which came as CA Stocks.  It was a hang-up call.  I'm sorry, but all of you above who left checks out for them to pick up are not using your brain!  If you believe it is the Shriner's organization, then go directly to them and donate.  I would never never leave a check at the front door for anyone as the result of a phone call!  If a charity call is legitimate, the caller would be more than happy to give you their mailing address or even their office for you to drop in to donate.  If anyone insisted on my leaving a check "under the mat" that would raise my suspicions over the roof!  Use common sense!

Got a call from this number from Melody Ferris. I was not at my desk so she left her name and number - and that's all.  Just told me to call.  Since I deal with a lot of vendors and trade show people, I did try to call back and didn't get an answer or a machine.  Tried again a couple of hours later and some man put me on hold forever.  I finally hung up.  The background on "hold" sounded like Court TV or something, so I thought they might be attorneys but couldn't find anything in the phone book.  Started searching online and found this site.  

I'm in a small office and we don't donate to everyone.  My boss has charities he likes and that's all we do.  They didn't sound very professional so he won't be receptive to their tactics.

Thanks for all the info.  I'll know how to handle it if they call again.

I was also contacted by this organization and will call The Shriners on Shelby Oaks to find out for myself if they are legit. On my caller ID the name was C A STOCKS. My wife had left a check on the door as they asked which is supposed to be for the Shirner's. After a couple of days no one ever came to pick up the check so I removed it from the door. So tonite I receive a phone call a asking why the check was taken off the door. I explained to the woman who called that I don't leave checks on my front door in hopes that the right person will be dropping by in a few days to pick it up. This sounds so fishy. I will call the Shriner's to verify the legitimacy of this deal.

Caller ID gave 901-266-3239 and Cunningham & 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.

I also was called by the above phone number, but the caller ID read CUNNINGHAN & MO, NOT CUNNINGHAM & MO as I also first assumed when trying to verify it. I was also suspicious when I was instructed to leave the check under the doormat.
I verified that this number is a valid number for Cunninghan & 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 said he was from Bell Canada and that i have had service with them in the past. I never had Bell service. I said I wasn't interseted and hung up....they call my phone number at least 2 times daily

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

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.

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

I got a call from a nice Lady named Leah tonight and she sounded so sincere I commited to donating $100. I then did my homework and checked out the company and they do give the proceeds to the Shriners! I'm glad I trusted my instincts!

This is a fundraising group for the shriner's hospital and charity circus. They are legit

Shelby Oaks Dr., Bartlett, TN 38134.  Their main phone is 266-4441.  At this time they are soliciting tickets to take disadvantaged kids to the circus for free.  They get requests from hospitals and other organizations to take kids to the circus.

Was also asked to leave a check for a courier to pick up for the Shriner's Circus. When I kept asking for them to send me something through the mail, the asked if they could just fax me something. When I persisted to send it through the mail, they were able to quote my current address.
