They suckered me (I used to give to ANY charity...). When they continued to call several times a day, despite me telling them I gave already..."couldn't you give just a little bit more?!" I started saying I'd think about giving $10,000 of my inheritance...hahahahahahah...It gets to the point where you want to scam the scammers. Thanks for all the info above.
I have enter some mail related charities there some from ST. LOUIS WITH a P.O. BOX # 229010, The others are from Merrifield, VA. P. O. BOX 7001. One of the letters is from National caregiving foundation,Alexandria, VA.Is this A scam too. Can someone let me know by using reply. The person on the letter said they are the president an they are KANDIS E. SYPHUS.
I have had a call from a different number than this.Its the same org though.I asked for the tax id number.The one given doesn't match the org it does however match their sponsor contractors number. Charitable Resource Foundation.That however is listed as being out of Ind and Mo.The number I had calling me was from out of Miami Fla.I like a poster above also had them put on another person.I explained the situation at hand.She didn't attempt to force a contribution at all.She directed me to there web site if I should decide to contribute.I think its just the fact that they are training people as to why they turn the phone over to someone else.
They stated to me that they do a six week drive at this time of year.So for another few weeks we will be getting calls from them.
They don't have a valid track record of funds accountability[gleaned from the bbb website].This is very obvious when tracing them back.They have more offices than you can shake a stick at.They are aware that they have a less than stellar reputation too.They understand why.
Got a call to donate money for Children's Cancer Dream Network. Told them I don't donate over the phone could they send me something in the mail. Then I called my mother in law who is very involved with the American Cancer Society. She made a few phone calls and called me back about an hour later. NO ONE from the AMERICAN CANCER SOCIETY has heard of the Children's Cancer Dream Network, and they are in NO WAY ASSOCIATED WITH THE AMERICAN CANCER SOCIETY. If you would like to donate to an organization that is cancer related, American Cancer Society (ACS) is a good one and nationally recognized.
