Been calling once or twice a week, sometimes twice a day for about a month. Caller ID sometimes shows United Breast Cancer or just the number. Never leaves message. Will they ever give up?? Although home, I never answer.

Indeed it is a scam, and the insidious and despicable vermin they hire to solicit should be shot.
The following is directly from this website http://www.tampabay.com/americas-worst-charit ... ncer-foundation
United Breast Cancer Foundation is governed by the Mastroianni family and has no independent board members. The charity was founded in 2000. Audrey S. Mastroianni serves as executive director. Her father and brother serve on the board.
The charity's mission is to provide grants and assistance to patients and families coping with breast cancer. Beth Reichart, United Breast Cancer's director of operations, said the charity has assisted more than 630 people through its hands-on programs and educated thousands more.
The charity has raised about $11.5 million over the past 10 years and spent more than half of that on professional fundraisers.
About 6 percent of the money raised has been spent on direct financial assistance to those in need.
On its website, the charity takes applications for grants to pay for breast reconstruction. It charges a $50 nonrefundable deposit to apply.
So from the millions donated, less than 6% has actually been spent directly on those with cancer and in need. Sounds like another "charity" for the board members.
I've attached this to comment on the first reply so that everyone can see it immediately and know it's another crap call. If you're sincere about trying to help, go out and find an actual survivor, there are many of us, and we'll tell you that the only people who can honestly and sincerely help are friends and family we surround ourselves with. Wearing pink only means you've wasted $50 on a shirt that will in all honesty, probably only give someone in the fight just a cheap Chinese wrist band.
This "charity" also calls from 281 4170702. They are considered one of America's worst charities and the are the private slush fund of a bunch called the Mastroianni family. Sounds like mafiosos to me!
