Just got a call and the man ID himself calling from the Breast Cancer Society for permission to send a card to me to support the cause. I stated yes send the card and was immediately forwarded to a woman who asked that I save money buy paying with a credit card or debit card over the phone. I stated no I would not... I will be surprised if I do receive a pledge card from the Breast Cancer Society... seemed legit until I was asked for credit or debit card... watch out for this one they are sly ones.
I keep getting calls from this number and if I call back, no one answers. These calls come in at all hours of the day and as late as 10:00PM. I want them to stop!!
Received numerous phones from MICHICAN CALL using the following phone numbers:
240-429-4201
810-224-5028
240-228-3316
The caller says they are working with a "Charity", "Charity Organization" or "Charity Foundation" and are seeking donations.
I didn't submit my donation to one organization and now they are calling for collection and acting like a collection agency for non-payment by calling more than once. I have asked to be removed from their "DONATION" list and be placed on the "NO DONATION" list, but they keep calling. It is not illegal to ask for donations. However, I found out that some callers who ask for donations and say they work for a specific charity make more money from the donation received then the charity (Foundation or Organization) they request of. There is a web site that shares a list of good and worst charities. I keep a print out on my desk.
