"Cancer Fund of America and a related support group, Cancer Fund of America Support Services, Inc., reported they raised slightly more than $17 million in 2007, the most recent year in which public information is available. Of that total, Cancer Fund of America reported it donated $54,000 in cash to unrelated groups or individuals – or about 3/10 of 1 percent. Of that $54,000, however, $50,000 went to a court directed cancer charity as part of a settlement with the Georgia Governor’s Office of Consumer Affairs. The state alleged the charity gave out deceptive and misleading solicitations to consumers.
The salaries and benefit packages for charity president James T. Reynolds, Sr., two sons and a son-in-law totaled more than $537,000 for the same period."
This same person keeps calling and when the machine answers, she asks for me by my first name. Once, she asked for me and then (in the same call) she again said Hello? and asked for my now deceased ex mother-in-law! I recognize her voice on my machine, it's the same woman each time.
I did a search and all it would tell me was Camden.
Caller rings my first line until it picks up, then they hang up. One second later (their automated system?) rings my line 2, then hangs up again. Good, I didn't want to talk to them anyway.
How rude! A girl asked for my husband & when I said he wasn't home, she hung up on me! I called the number back & there was a message thanking me for calling the Cancer Fund of America & to pressed one to be placed on their DO NOT CALL list... Hopefully it works. Just lost my 39 year old cousin this summer to breast cancer so I'm not opposed to donating... just not sure which ones are scams. :(
