Received a call from this number at my boss's direct line. After identifying myself, there was silence, then the line disconnected after a few seconds.
They want you to contribute "for breast cancer." other sites say this is a bogus charity. What we know for sure is they keep calling back--even if you never pick up. They call day & night. Reported to do not call, blocked caller, still getting these calls. Very annoying.
I continued to get calls from this number after researching it here on 800notes so finally I answered out of curiosity. I am quite sure it was a computer I was talking to and not a real human being. It was good, but not quite good enough. It asked for my husband with its cheery feminine voice and I answered "yes." It was able to discern the higher pitch of my voice and said, "That's okay (or something like that) I can talk to either of you. Trying to get in touch with you is harder than getting my kids to clean their rooms." And then it launched into it's pitch and said something about an envelope being sent to me, like I had already agreed to that. I asked where it was calling from and it took awhile, perhaps ten seconds or so, a bit longer than for a human being, for it to stop the pitch and answer my question. It told me where the charity was located, which isn't necessarily the same thing as where the call was coming from. Then I asked to be put on the Do Not Call List and it said it would do that. I don't give to charities without checking them out first and even then I would give directly, if I decided to do it, so that fundraisers don't get a cut. After reading the comments here it would seem that this is not a good one to give to. Also, I really dislike it when companies try to pass off a machine caller as a human being.
It won't put you on a do not call list. Do not answer unknown calls and do not call them back. Consider getting a call blocking device (or app for your cell phone)-they're available online and start around $45. http://800notes.com/nb/search?q=call+blockers

SOB's from United Breast Cancer Foundation. They have also called me recently from 385-210-1946, which I blocked prior to receiving a call from this number. UBCF is ranked as one of the 50 worst charities in the US, and with less than $1 million spent on direct cash aid in 2012, it's easy to see why. Compare that figure with over $7 million paid to solicitors and almost $6 million paid to the charity (United Breast Cancer Foundation) in 2012, and it's a cinch they aren't getting one thin dime from me! Someone needs to pull the plug on these SOB's--how about sicking the IRS on them?
This number calls daily. We have ignored it as we have caller ID. I recently answered and demanded they stop calling. There was no one on the line when I picked it up. They continue to call daily.
