Actually waited until 9:45 to call me ! The call started the same way as others have reported - i.e. trying to "guilt me" by saying something like "...you're hard to contact, etc. etc." (that didn't work). Then she went into her well-rehearsed spiel about "collecting for the ladies with breast cancer, blah blah blah". I then asked her WHAT EXACTLY she/they were doing for "the ladies with breast cancer". She replied that "they" make a financial contribution to the victims, and provide them "information". (full disclosure - I'm a retired "problem solver" with Federal law enforcement, and a former insurance investigator). My investigation has discovered that one of these ersatz "breast cancer charities" makes a one-time financial contribution of $500 to any woman who contacts them claiming to be a breast cancer victim. THAT is the beginning, and the end, of their "financial contribution" This particular "charity" has collections/contributions totaling somewhere around $14 to $18 million, and a total "paid out" to the victims of somewhere around $40,000 !! (Not these fine people, of course - they're all a bunch of choir boys - heh,heh, lol) As a cancer survivor, I can tell you - you can't cure, or even treat, cancer with "information". As a trained investigator, I'm not saying this whole thing is fraud, or even barely legal. But, it simply doesn't pass the "smell test". Before you give your hard-earned $ to someone like this (a voice over the phone) you have to ask, and answer 1 simple question - Is this REALLY where you want your charitable contributions to go ?
Call at 8:30 am. Marie stated it was hard to get someone to answer telephone. Wanted donation for Breast Cancer Charity. Would not take no for an answer. Did not apologize for waking me out of a dead sleep. Had I realized what was going on I would not have answered. Requested to be taken off her list. Let's see what happens.
Called on May 6th 2016 at 8:40 AM and CID displayed "4102205779 410-220-5779" and as usual, no VM was left. Since no VM was left, the call wasn't important to begin with. I didn't bother calling the number back either to find out who they were either.
I dont answer my phone from numbers that I dont reconize, regardless who is calling. If a company or organization cant display the name of thier company or organization when calling, I wont answer my phone and let it go to VM and if they can't leave a message, its not worth dealing with.
Caller: 4102205779 410-220-5779
Call type: Nuisance call
Another unwanted call from these bozos on May 6th 2016 at 11:45 AM and as usual, no VM was left. CID displayed the same thing as before. Since they can't display the name of thier company or organization when calling, its no wonder they cant get any donations.
Another unwanted call on May 10th 2016 at 3:03 PM and CID displayed 4102205779 419-220-5779 and as usual, no VM was left. Since no VM was left, the call wasn't important to begin with.
