I learned my lesson too late, though. Years ago, before I knew what a bad deal it was for the candidates I contributed to, I used to contribute online all the time. I have been paying the price ever since in the form of mail requests, email requests, and both my US cell phone’s voicemail box and even my office voicemail box—can only have come from the requirement to disclose my employer—are full of requests for money. Since usually many months go by between visits to the USA, and no one accesses my phones in the meantime, this means I have to waste half a day wading through these “messages” every time I return.
