202-830-1824

Call was from "Cancer Update", didn't answer, no message left on machine.  Tried calling back, said number had been disconnected.  I have gotten many calls from this "Cancer Update" that I don't answer.  Have no association with cancer at all.

P.S.  I'm on the Do Not Call list.  How can these people keep calling?

The DNC is for telemarketers only, however, it does nit keep the criminals, scammers or illegal telemarketers from calling. Charity, political and some survey's are exempt.  Do consider maybe getting a call blocking device or phone.. You can google them and many are around $60.00 or so.

had ben calling and does not leave any message

Calls comes in on work business line.  I answer and they hang up.  Don't know why they keep calling and saying nothing.

Nothing appears but the phone number.

We never answer numbers we don't recognize. Since someone indicated that it was a "cancer update" I suspect it is the ACIR or American Cancer Institute of Research or something like that. When ever they call it comes up Anonymous. They are the worse! They probably give .01 for every dollar they collect. They were rated no stars by the BBB for charities.

Screw them!

202-830-1824    keeps calling. If i answer they don't say anything . I have a a terminal illness and don't sleep well. Whom ever this is calling is very disturbing

Call everyday and doesn't leave a message. Early in the morning. This is a pain.

unwanted calls, numerous times

My wife keeps getting calls early in the morning from 202-830-1824 Id as AICR.   This is a scam but the caller will not quit.

If you asked to be placed on their internal Do Not Call list, they have 30 days to comply after which you can file a complaint with the FCC and/or take legal action against them for violations of the TCPA.  If you have not asked to be placed on their internal DNC list, as a charity (scam or not) they can continue to call until 30 days after you request to be placed on their Do Not Call list.

From the Charity Navigator website it appears only 32% of funds raised is actually used to fund cancer research, the rest is fund raising and administrative costs.

There a much better cancer research funding charities out there if you wish to donate to cancer research.

This number calls, hangs up then calls again. Will not leave message on answering machine.
whats the point outside of being annoying???

I have been getting calls from (202) 830-1824 and (202) 830-1988 every day for months. No one ever leaves a message. I have the option to block unwanted callers and have blocked both numbers so thank goodness the phone doesn't ring. But these numbers still show up in my phone log each day.

The caller ID says AICR, which if you Google it, stands for American Institute for Cancer Research. AICR's real phone number is (202) 328-7744, not the spoofed numbers that keep calling me. Anyone pretending to be affiliated with cancer research should be immediately brought to justice, and are the lowest scum imaginable.

ATTN: Florida Gator Athletic purchasers: A season ticket holder alerted us that someone called them from (202) 830-1824 and (202) 830-1988 saying they need to pay for their season tickets today and if they did not the prices would go up. THIS IS A SCAM!!!!!!

No message - just a nuisance call while I was out. One of hundreds that our tax dollars are wasted on preventing.

daily calls--no one there. now that I see these posts, I will stop answering.

take me off that list

No one else reading this page can ''take you off'' anything on your behalf. These forums are for call recipients to share their experience, attempt to identify call sources, and optionally offer advice, as others before you have done.

Charity calls are commonly placed by a commercial fundraiser, such as Associated Community Services, Dial America, Donor Care Center, Donor Services Group, Harris Direct, Horizon Marketing, InfoCision, Insight Teleservices, MDS, and TeleFund. Like all non-sales calls, these are exempt from federal and state no-call registries, even though the call centers executing the recurring campaigns are very much for-profit and pocket most of what is collected. At times the ''charity'' client is itself a closet profit enterprise, compounding the deception.

As commercial entities, these hired call centers are expected to honor an internal no-call list and add any number upon request. Break that order, the FTC declares, and ''the telemarketer may be subject to a fine of up to $16,000.'' They are also covered to a point by other regulations for telepests, so you can complain about abandoned calls, bot calls to mobile phones, and so on.

Because the amounts collected are rather small, these call centers are quite motivated to repeatedly hassle you. The worst of the industry will "reload" a donor multiple times a year, preferring forgetful and easily confused victims. Most if not all such phone farms assume that your no-call order, when given verbally or by keypress, conveniently expires when a client's campaign ends.

In comments from November 2012 and June 2013 linked below, I've discussed simple steps I took to rid myself of a major pain fundraising boiler room by politely rubbing its face in federal laws. You will note that I never rely on verbal cease-communication demands.

I have been receiving these calls for the past month.I never answered any until the other day with the intention of cursing them out.I said hello twice and a woman said hello and then there was nothing.Think I will try and get a phone with blocking capabilities.
