Florida’s Attorney General in a December 18th, 2017 news release announcing a complaint filed against Community Charity Advancement, Inc. (CCAI).
CCAI purports to support breast cancer research and patients, as well as victims of fires and the families of fallen firefighters. The charity raises funds under the names: Breast Cancer Research & Support Fund, U.S. Firefighters Association, and U.S. Volunteer Firefighter Association.
Using professional fundraisers Courtesy Call, Inc. 1835 E. Charleston Blvd., #4, Las Vegas Nevada 89104 and Donor Relations, LLC 1013 Center Rd., #403-A, Wilmington Delaware 19805
Community Charity Advancement, Inc. (CCAI) have quickly shutdown online websites.

Well, maybe that will cut out just a couple of the calls we get every single month.
I hope the AG prosecutes them to the fullest. She's no nonsense.

While I applaud any action against telemarketers proven to be in violation of the law, I can't help wondering what will stop the involved individuals from simply starting over with a new name in the future?

Pretty much nothing at all.

You mean Pam Bondi?  The AG who delayed an execution so she could attend a fundraiser?

Would CCAI be related to the calls I've received showing CCI as the caller name? If so, these are the numbers from which they've called me: 586-482-8704 and 616-229-4713.

I don't think so.  Someone actually posted the name of that outfit, but I was on my phone when I saw it and lost the link.

PS, this is a thread to post numbers or links to them in.  We would like to keep this thread on topic.

Courtesy Call in Vegas, a/k/a CCI, is noted above as one of the call centers for the bogus charity bunch. Fraudulent "hero charities" are the only kind CCI works for, in my observation. They've been on a rampage since Autumn.

Thanks for that, I have been wanting to look them up for a while but CCI doesn't really get you anywhere.  I have located a lot of dirt on them already and it only took a few minutes.

I know I've dropped my own notes into some CCI threads since 2014, citing the opposite-of-courteous "prune-juiced hags" who refused to answer my questions or supply their mailing address.

Courtesy Call Inc  (Las Vegas) (aliases "The Fund Raising Center", "Office of Fund Raising", "OFC C Brown", "Donation Services")
- Relies heavily on local number ruse in Caller ID, otherwise uses Vegas number.
- Call abandonment high, even at times when live recipient makes audible response
- What little funds remain after expenses reportedly are "donated" straight to Central and South America.

sound-alike charity names, likely sharing ownership:
Breast Cancer Research Center
Breast Cancer Research & Support Fund
Dogs For Law Enforcement
National Police & Trooper Association
Disabled Veterans Services
Gulf War Veterans Coalition
Veterans Emergency Blood Bank
Vets Fighting Breast Cancer  (Wow, two fake causes in one!)
Children's Abuse & Trauma Foundation
Children's Cancer Research & Support Fund

I dug up a lot of information here:  https://800notes.com/Phone.aspx/1-970-287-1108#p1308225602701416479

Seems they have left almost every state registration go.

Resident47: Thanks for your informative post(s) about CCI.

Now that I know CCI and CCAI are different entities, I'll go back to lurk mode on this thread.

Anything new you can dig up on either one of them would help.

Don't get them mixed up with a legitimate organization CCAI Chinese Children Adoption International -- http://www.ccaifamily.org/ a legitimate organization.

What are the chances that a Richard Zeitlin listed under both (CCI) Courtesy Call Inc. and Donor Relations LLC are two different Richard's?
