This organization is "spoofing" (illegal & a crime) local numbers (337-717-3110, a number formally belonging yo a now closed business 35 miles from me) which have not been used in years or in working order. It's a shame and horrible; lost my daddy to cancer 5 yrs ago & I've never heard of this organization. Think it's also a scumbag who asks, "if you want yo be removed, give us a donation!" That's called blackmail & here in Louisiana (though we may not be know for ethics and such) this type of fake funds is not tolerated. They are targeting elderly (55 & over), and I'm thankful that I'm alert to scumbags! Asked for my much older than I husband and then "read her script". I told her, "Ma'am, I've never donated to your organization before, never heard of it!" She tell tried to explain to me HER/THEIR version of how DNC works...I then said, "Ma'am IF I hadn't given to your organization before that would apply but not in this case...an unlisted/private phone number for the last 25 or more years!"

Asked what percentage of the donation goes to the people with cancer or services for them. Caller didn't know as she was in training. Said she'd get her manager for me. I declined and said I'd do my own research. Less than 17 cents of every dollar they get through this method goes to people with cancer or support services for them. They have administrative and fundraising costs that eat up the other 83 cents. Hmmmm. No thanks. For easy access to info about these charities see: charity navigator.org without the space between charity and navigator. (Site wouldn't let me type it as all one word.)

I got a call from Cancer Support Services and told them to send info and I would review. I received their donation request in the mail and did my research after which I tore up the mail and threw it in the garbage. This company does not appear to help anyone but the people at the top that are living high off the hog of off others.

Called me 7 times in last 5 days robocalling using a Baltimore number (410-246-5757). Last time I asked for employee ID number, and wasgiven o another woman. She said her name was C?? Jones ID number 313565901 and that she was a manager. Info on this charity shows it to provide little if any help to patients. I told her that now that I had her info, if they called again, I would file harrassment chrges locally. She also provided the following office phone number, I did not trry it yet. 315 565-5214. Bottom line, if a charity has to buy phone numbers and robocall them, they are not legit

If you want to find out if a charity is legitimate, google this search term online:
"(your state) charitable registration search"
The search should take you to the Attorney General's or the Secretary of State's website. Every charity that solicits donations over the phone MUST be registered in YOUR state. With the name of the charity, you can find out if they are real, and does the state approve of them doing business in your state.
I work for a charity in VA and I'm in charge of our non-profits state registrations across the country. It's the easiest way to answer the "is this a legitimate charity?" question.

My 85 year old father has fallen victim to this organization. They have harassed him by telephone and the mail and their representative convinced him that he "owes" them money. They have even sent him "friendly notices" reminding him that he promised to make a donation even after he had already sent them a check. I think these people should be ashamed of themselves for using such a devastating thing as childhood cancer to prey upon the elderly and people who think they are doing the "right" thing by sending money to this organization. It is a shame that this is taking money from legitimate charities, such as St. Jude, which really do help children fight this dreaded illness.

I think this is the number I keep getting calls from. No number appears on the Caller ID, it simply reads OUT OF AREA. I picked up today and asked who they were, hoping to get a number to backtrace but they didn't give me one. They did say they were from the Cancer Fund of America though. Not sure if this is the right number specifically, they seem to use many. Again, no number appeared on the CID.

They started calling my business number recently. However, not the number here ... but TWO different ones.
408-418-5604 and 408-418-5696! After they annoyed me the first time, I placed the number on call screen to block it as these calls are both uninvited and unwelcome.... especially on my business phone!!!! And almost a month later they're back with this second number!!!! What the H*ll don't these people get? You don't reach us, we don't respond then we don't want your calls! STOP CALLING US!!!! I have made up my mind about this bunch ... I absolutely will NOT donate (especially after what I have read about them)!!!!

This phone number keeps calling the house, even though we are on the DO NOT CALL list, and if we answer, there is no one there.
| ANNA V. 2011-06-06 21:05:20 Unknown |
I DIDN'T ANSWER I'M REALLY TIRED OF THESE PEOPLE
| John 2011-06-06 21:05:20 Unknown |
Kept calling every day when we're not home. Fishy??? Answered the call today. A women on the other end said she's calling for cancer found. Told her don't call again. She said if we donated, she won't call again.
| pat 2011-06-06 21:05:20 Unknown |
I got a call from this number and I am on the do not call list
| Suprfry 2011-06-06 21:05:20 Unknown |
These people (some supposed Cancer place, I called the number back) call me many times a day. However, I have a DECT 6 phone with number blocking and I blocked the number so it rings once on my end and all they hear is a fast busy signal. I love it. It seems the only thing to do with these people as the DNC registry SUCKS!!!
| Sylvester 2011-06-06 21:05:20 Unknown |
Cancer Fund of America -- it's one of those "sound-alike" names to make you think you've heard of them before.
Charity Navigator's website rates CFOA -Zero- on a scale of.... ahem... One to Five.
The "no-one there" some people have reported is probably due to the computer-dialing software CFOA (and lots of others) is using. You have to say hello or whatever before it hooks you up with one of their money-grubbers. Also you need to pick up before the 3rd ring on this kind of call or it disconnects automatically and calls you back later, a real nuisance.
Lately I've been politely explaining that "we never donate over the phone" and "it's bad luck to donate over the telephone", heh. Nine times out of ten they keep right on yapping, which earns them a polite "Thank you <click>".
May I suggest, if you're getting this sort of call regularly, always make the FIRST thing you say (after you say hello in order to connect, like I mentioned above) --"May I ask who's calling, please?" Only way to get CFOA and most others to admit who they are, and it really helps to know.
| Lori 2011-06-06 21:05:20 Unknown |
This # keeps calling me 4 to 5 times a day.Even on Sunday ! I answer the phone so that I can tell them to put me on their Do Not Call list, however there isn't ever anyone there. I just wish they would stop calling.
BTW I am on the National Do Not Call list.
| Ty 2011-06-06 21:05:20 Unknown |
Sham operation conducted by undercover FBI agents posing as telemarketers/solicitors for investigative purposes. Chances are good your number has come up in an ongoing investigation, and/or your illegal activity is associated with your telephone number. Undercover agents are attempting to verify your identity, and/or to simply harass you. Acting under the pretense of a "charity" investigators can continue to call you despite you being on the Federal Do Not Call List, as well as a state's "do not call" list(s). Start taking note of the information that appears on your Caller ID screen, you will begin to see incomplete, inaccurate, and bogus info appearing. I recommend beginning to keep thorough records of such calls.
| Solar Power 2011-06-06 21:05:20 Unknown |
We are a business and they call and hang up, very annoying.
| JC from TX 2011-06-06 21:05:20 Unknown |
I reported the number to the DNC complaint page, not sure if it will accomplish anything, but I found that the caller was from some Cancer Fund or something, soliciting and being rude.
| Kelly 2011-06-06 21:05:20 Unknown |
these damn jerk offs call at almost 9:00 pm either collecting for money credit card scam or a warranty on your car deal I don't drive and I don't have a credit card but the idiot sticks still call
| Jeff 2011-06-06 21:05:20 Unknown |

| Ruth 2011-06-06 21:05:20 Unknown |
This number has called me 15 times in the last three days...they need to be stopped.
| CM Pike NY 2011-06-06 21:05:20 Unknown |
I get calls from this # several times a week but choose not to answer the phone and they NEVER leave a message! If they really wanted to talk to me I would think they would leave a message and a call back number!
| Leo 2011-06-06 21:05:20 Unknown |
These people are deceitful, and worse yet, they're f***ing rude.
