You're a jerk. That is not a charity - it's a scam

Got another call from this number 5/26/11 at 9:19 I was on the phone so it went to voice mail which they didn't leave a message. I get a call from this number about 2 or 3 times a month so tired of it... The # thing didn't work they continue to call...

Good comments and explanation to the annoying situation.  Thanks.
As you stated is ineffedtive, I don't bother with reporting the scum bags because they know all the loopholes in the law.  A method scammers understand is more direct to deal with the morons.  Simply say, "F..K OFF!" and hang up.

Multiple calls, either no one on the line or someone who refuses to identify themselves. Some people's children.

This is a scam.  VERY little of their funraising goes to cancer anything.  Want to support a worthy organisation?  City of Hope.

Before donating to any charity, check them out on CharityNavigator.org .  Even some "legitimate" charities are not responsible with your money.  As a general rule, reputable charities will not cold call you on the telephone.  If you think you want to give, ask them for the exact name of the charity, the address, and a number where you can call them back.  Tell them that you are going to look them up on Charity Navigator, and that if they are responsible in their spending you will call them back to make a donation.

If they try to talk you out of doing that, or if they are not forthcoming with information, you can be sure it is a scam.  Do not let them guilt trip you or bully you into making a donation before you are sure of the facts.  After all, don't you want that money to go to a real charity? Stand your ground, and get the facts before you give.  Charity Navigator makes that very easy to do.

I get three or four calls a day, never anyone on the other end of the line.....just total silence!!!!!

I have repeatedly requested no calls and the calls continue 4-5 times a day.

Calls 10+ times a day,driveing me nuts!!!! hangs up all the time when answering. gave them a good chewing but they continue to call and dont care if your on the do not call list.

They keep calling, then hang up when our voicemail picks up. We tried to call them back to ask that they take our number off their lists, but the number is "no longer in service!" We're reported them to the DNC twice already. Next time they call, we'll also file a complaint with the FCC.

We too get 10 calls a day from this number and are on the do not call list.  I have asked them repeatedly not to call me but they still do.  When I call the number back it is says it has been disconnected.

# was on caller ID and called it back next day(today).  Recording says number is not in service....!?

Get calls from this number and they don't leave a message

I just got a call also.

As for the way to handle them -- either use a phone that includes an answering machine or purchase one - put a message on it that says:  
         WE SCREEN ALL CALLS.  
         WE MAKE NO DONATIONS OVER THE PHONE FOR ANY REASON.
         PLEASE LEAVE YOUR NAME, NUMBER AND SHORT MESSAGE AT THE BEEP.
Set your phone rings to 2 so that you catch it early but still can see who it is from (like a friend) plus this will catch all computer generated calls.  This way the phone only rings twice, if you are near you can get it before it cuts off, if you are not you don't have to jump and run to only find a telemarketer on the line.  This will also cut the number of phones calls from these scammers as they find that they can't get to you.  My phone calls have dropped greatly, my junk mail has increased but I have a big file #13.

If you have a cell phone - leave it turned off unless you are using it.  I never give out my cell phone number
except to trusted friends and family, no businesses, ever.   If you are one of the ones who has gone to cell phone use only, you will just have to live with it.

I GOT A CALL FREE THIS SAME NUMBER AND THE LADY CALLED ME BY MY FIRST.  I THEN ASK WHO WAS CALLING SHE SAID "CANCER SOCIETY", I THEN ASK IF I COULD TAKE A MESSAGE SHE SAID "NO" AND HUNG UP.  I TRIED CALLING THE NUMBER BACK AND THE RECORDING SAYS "THE NUMBER IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE OR THE NUMBER HAS BEEN DISCONNECT".  CAN SOMEONE TELL ME HOW THE HELL THAT CAN HAPPEN WITHIN MINUTES OF THEM CALLING ME AND ON A SATURDAY AT THAT.  I TRULY BELIEVE MY LINE IS BEING MONITORED.

Stop Calling

They say they are for hospice/cancer care..i tell them i am not interested in it at this time, and while i am being very cordial and telling them this..they hang up...if it was truly a cancer care site, they would have listened to me and nNOT BE SO RUDE AS TO HANG UP IN THE MIDDLE OF ME TALKING!!!!

your line is not being monitored---so stop feeling PARANOID.. The call came to me to..read my reply on the list. The number does say it was disconnected...when these calls come in, i try to be polite and then play up to them..there is a you-tube video about these solicitors where 1 guy repeatedly replies yes to all the ?'s..it really is very funny and amusing..check it out...

I have done work for the American Cancer Society for many years now and they do NOT call from an 800 number to ask for funds--PLEASE, if you get a call from these people DO NOT donate.  Don't be a blessing to this scam.

Caller hung up just as soon as my answer machine came on.  I'll be reporting to do not call.
