2024957181

Caller ID only reads AICR.  No message left, but, I called the number and a recording IDd them.

Take my phone number and name off your list!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I believe it is supposed to be the American Institute Cancer Research -AIDC. 203-495-7181-and there are more numbers they use.
A Google search will show you too many complaints against this company.  If you are on the Do Not Call list, it does not apply to them. They can hound you as much as they want to.

I think it's the American Cancer society.  I receive at least 2 calls a day from them.  I do not pick up so maybe they'll give up calling.

We have received daily calls since april 2, 2010.

FINALLY I called one of the three numbers they have called from.  I listened to the recording and found where I could have my number "removed" from their call list.  It can take up to 30 days to become effective.  

We have TWO charities we donate to, besides Church, and we will not take on any more.

Have received several calls from this number.No messages left. Please do not call here again.

I could not get through to have my number removed.  I got the message "If you want more info, press 1" and then a busy signal.  How did you get through the automated system to have your number removed?

American Cancer Research Call that number follow prompt #1  then Prompt #3 add your home phone and again prompt#1  You should be off the list

Annoying calls morning, afternoon, evening, etc.  Do not answer if I see caller ID

they call every day, I don't answer the phone they don't leave message

SCAMMERS- DO NOT GIVE OUT ANY PERSONAL INFORMATION TO THESE SCAMMERS- IF THEY CALL AND YOU PICK UP THE PHONE, JUST SIT THE RECEIVER DOWN AND AFTER 30 SECONDS OR SO THEY WILL HANG UP- DO THIS A FEW TIMES AND THEY WILL STOP CALLING !!  THEY USE DIFFERENT NUMBERS WIYH DIFFERENT AREA CODES- AGAIN , DON'T GIVE THESE A@SHOLES ANY INFORMATION !!!!!   NOW YOU KNOW!!!

They called at 8:17 am.  It was the American Cancer asking for me to mail envelopes to all my neighbors.  When I said - Do you know what time it is and I am on the Do Not Call List.  The gentlemens reply was we are a Non Profit Organization and we can call you at this time in the morning.  Well I said you have been calling for weeks and I finally caught you on the phone.  Take my name off  your list and never call here again.  And If the American Cancer Instutite is reading this - You will never get people to give money if you keep harrassing people at that time of the day and try letting the people pick up the phone.  This number has been calling my house for months only it rings twice and if you don't pick it up by the second ring they hang up.  SHAME ON YOU - AIRC (AKA AMERICAN INSTUTITE RESEARCH CENTER) FOR THIS.

I have had the same constant, daily calls from them.  They use multiple numbers.  I followed the advice posted above and it seemed to work.
Call them back at the number listed on your caller ID, press 1 then 3 then 1 again.  They will confirm removal.  Now lets see if they do it.

AICR is a professional fund raising group that uses cancer as the basis for needing cash. It stays within the law and does provide some funds for diet, obesity and other general stuff which is common and available in any library. I get 90 or more calls a month from them using automated equipment. I have asked them to stop. They do not.

I find it interesting that the BBB says they are legitimate. BBB has only received ONE complaint in three years. BBB seems oblivious to AICR driving thousands of citizens up the wall with their robocall fund raising techniques. This says something about BBB I suppose.

Maybe if you contact BBB at http://www.bbb.org/us/complaints/ your call might be the 2nd one they ever received about the misdeeds of AICR. Save your money and avoid scams like this one.

Several months back the phone started ringing nonstop with calls requesting a donation from the American Institute Cancer Research organization.  The frequency of the calls occurs from a minimal of several times a week to several times a day, even Sunday.  Numerous times, in hopes of getting them to stop calling, they have been informed that contributing to their organization is impossible for I have been unemployed since 2009 and do not even have the money to go to a doctor.  The calls did not cease, instead they increased.   When informed that our phone number is on the ‘Do Not Call' list, they retorted ‘we are a nonprofit organization and so it doesn’t matter.’    My reaction to her sharp reply was to say ‘so you are telling me that unless you receive a contribution, no matter what additional necessity it cost this household, you are going to continue this harassment’ which she basically responded yes to when she said ‘they accept even merger contributions.’  I didn’t believe it.  Obviously it is time that nonprofit organizations must abide by the do not call law.

AICR is a notorious fund raising telemarketer that gives some support to cancer issues primarily related to diet and exercise. The concept of RESEARCH is a tad stretched here but it sure does bring in revenue to support the principals and telemarketers involved.

I tried calling AICR; they listen but don't hear. They stop--then start again. Incessant calls come at all times of the day and week. Some people contribute to stop them. Forget it--they only want more!  I even called my Congressman and he inquired of the FCC. Forget it. It was suggested that I use the DO NOT CALL list (I do) and they are immune to it, like Congress (They are). It was suggested that I bring a law suit. This is why Government is failing. It protects improprieties under the guise of freedom. These guys get too much PAY for such nonsense.

The national BBB said they only had ONE complaint about AICR and further, the BBB approves them as a recognized charity. That should tell you something about AICR and BBB. It's time to assess your former thoughts about these organizations and how effective they might be.

Try calling or emailing the BBB in Washington about your concern and try to make it the SECOND complaint they might get about AICR. In fact your complaint might even be the THIRD one they ever receive! These people are unreal in recognizing the problem and working toward a solution. So do call or email the national BBB in Washington to let them know how you feel about being bombarded by their approved AICR telemarketer cancer group!  Make a call today!  My calls have STOPPED!!!!!

i NEVER contribute to or buy anything from any contact i dont initiate....i am on the do not call list...of course these people dont have to abide by that request...i think the next time they call and i can get to the phone i will blow a whistle into the phone as loud as i can.....maybe this will work

They use many different phone numbers.  I have 3 or 4 in the past few days, identified as this
outfit, but they are not from the 495-7181 number, but other numbers in the 202 area code.  

I don't pick up EVER, so they should GIVE  UP!

There is a good article about AICR and similar organizations and their use of telemarketing companies in a recent Bloomberg article:

http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2012-09-12/char ... lemarketer.html

If you want to know about telemarketers and charity telephone solicitations this article is a MUST read.
