Well, that just lost your campaign a donation...

The campaign to keep Britain in Europe sent me a fund-raising email today. And I was prepared to make a donation, until I noticed that they wanted all of my personal details including address, email and phone number, and would not take a donation without all three. I can understand the address part, it's needed to make sure that it's a genuine private donation. Email I'm OK with, because they've already got it. But I am really NOT prepared to give them my phone number, because that leads to cold calls from politicians long after the referendum. So it's not going to happen, since I really don't want to give a false number and there appears to be no alternative.

So it goes...

Same here, especially when they want a cell phone number. Some of us are still using landlines.

I never give a cell phone number because it's for emergency use, I don't want it spammed.
