I just give them a fake name and address. At least I am wasting their time and money. It works best when I can give an address another scammer gave me to send some check.

Jokes on you for we reported you to the credit card company and canceled the donation!

They all look similarly printed on the same paper… same printer/ink. They give no information about the PACs or charities but all state the amount he agreed to pay (via phone), with a confirmation number and the date he agreed to pledge… no receipt for him… they just didn’t look legit. I found this while looking them up The PACs and carities are as listed (if anyone has any info on any others):
United Women’s Health Alliance PAC
National Volunteer Firefighters Alliance
Support America’s Police PAC
Police Officer Defense Alliance
