Same here.

no more calls! Number  reported to FED's.

same here,  and it's at least the 5th time (Seattle area)

Scammy "American Institute for Cancer Research".  If you block this number they'll call you from another with a different area code such as 888-240-9772 and 877-275-6835.

AICR is just short of a criminal scam.   They have a horrendous record when it comes to getting money to people actually doing something about cancer.  The following is part of a 2009 financial statement from charitynavigator.com:

AICR is about the best way I can imagine to keep money away from legitimate cancer research organizations.

This caller keeps calling my number over and over.  I usually ignore it but would like to see whomever is calling get taken down.  If it is, as you say, some sort of scam I would like these people to be stopped.

Calling here too  no message   Where do they get our numbers anyone know?

I keep receiving calls from 202-607-2946. They do not leave a message. I accidentally answered one call and they asked me if they could mail a packet so that I could mail donation notices to my neighbors on "Messler Road"...I live on Messner Road!! I agreed...then asked them to remove my number from their list. We received another call from them last evening. I am very tired of this...wondering where they got our number.

Total scam organization.  Their telemarketing practices are shameful.  Repeated complaints to the FTC are ineffective.

No one should donate or do business with this organization as they are not doing anything but trying to scam people out of money.  I have gotten as many as three hang up phone calls in a single day and I am getting many calls each week even though I have all their phone numbers blocked.

What does it say about a company who cannot even realize they are totally ineffective?

Caller ID says AICR.

AICR is a scam charity. They call almost daily and they also call from a variety of numbers. Today I spoke with a rep and told him to put me on their do not call list. He was polite enough and claimed compliance.

However, my phone number is already on the Federal Do Not Call List. Charities are legally exempt from complying with the DNC, but why would any charity that wasn't a scam not respect the request for privacy of numbers on the list? A real charity would respect the list whether bound by the law or not. Therefore any charity which calls a number on the Federal DNC can be correctly classified as a scam.
