Call from 317-472-8016 this morning. Caller ID said CHILDHOOD LEUKEMIA.
I did not answer. They hung up after three rings.
I checked out Childhood Leukemia Foundation in Brick, NJ, on Charity Navigator. They have one of the lowest possible ratings. Nearly all their income goes for fund raising.
I never donate over the phone anyway. These supposed phone charities are all just scammers.
Got a call from this number and a lot of others. I record the numbers and when one show up I blow a whistle in there ear after someone gets on the phone.
Have received multiple daily calls from this number, late at night and early in the morning. There are laws around the times that these organizations can call, and most legitimate organizations abide by those laws. I have seen this number come up on the caller ID with different names - Childhood Leukemia, Creative Consultants, and just the number with the city and state it generates from. I have never answered one of these calls, but they keep on calling - never leave a message on the voicemail, though.
I have tried the do not answer the call thing...and it has not worked....they call all hours of the day and night and everyday of the week...What else can I do.
