These "Cancer Fund of America" [***] are actually fundraising predators based in Salt Lake City, Utah, although their robo-calls show up with an Asheboro, NC Caller ID as having been placed from a "landline" phone at 336-308-0139. They care absolutely nothing whatsoever about your family's privacy or personal inconvenience, and they're a disgrace to all legitimate cancer research entities.
This is the Cancer Fund Of America. The woman started her sales pitch and I asked her to just wait a minute and she kept right on talking. I finally shouted, "STOP!" at which time she stopped jabbering. I tried to be nice and told her that my daughter is a cancer patient right now, that she has no insurance, and because of that I have no money to spare. She then proceeded with ,"Well, we understand that the economy is tight right now, but these cancer victims, blah blah blah. I finally screamed at her, "YOU JUST DON"T GET IT, DO YOU?" and hung up. If these people were really concerned about cancer patients she would have offered their services to me instead of trying get money from me. I called the number back and pressed 1 to be removed from their call list.
Just looking on our state website which lists the donation vs. charity ratio of all of the fundraisers - theirs is pathetic.
Their name should be - Pay the Telemarketers.
The only thing these sound-alike groups do is cut down on the amount of monies that go to the legitimate charities and waste our time by having to answer the calls.
