I contacted Breast Cancer Society after the 4/25 call to complain and ask for my number to be removed. I have NEVER had a working relationship with this organization and have NEVER been a volunteer. IF the call is legit then leave a message asking us to contact our representatives. It feels like a scam and now I will file a formal complaint since they called AFTER I asked them to stop.
Here is their response from my complaint after the second call on 4/25/13:
Thank you for contacting the American Heart Association and American Stroke Association. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience caused by our call placed to you last week.
Your name was listed as someone who volunteered as an advocate for our You’re the Cure advocacy program. You’re the Cure is the American Heart Association’s network of people who advocate for legislation which supports a heart disease and stroke-free America.
Our call to you was a part of a campaign for advocates to contact their Representative to urge them to support a $1.50 increase in the price of tobacco to help reduce the 5,100 annual deaths associated with tobacco-related illnesses in Minnesota alone.
We have escalated your request to the You’re the Cure program to have your name and contact information removed from this volunteer database. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience.
Received a call from this number and because I did not recognize the number I did not answer it. The person on the other end of the line started chewing me out for not answering the phone and then went on to call me several names because "I" was talking about her behind her back, about how she knew God and that "I" would be the one who would be punished for the unchristian acts that I was committing. I broke into the middle of her rant and told her that she had the wrong number. To get her attention - again I said hello and again told her she had the wrong number. She did not apologize or anything - she just hung up without saying anything,
I researched this organization and found that not even five cents of the monies collected go to cancer patients. And that the president and his family are the empoyees who receive most of the money his name is James Reynolds. He has about five different cancer organzations based in AZ and the fundraiser is from Michigan. One person who received one of their "care packages" contained paper plates, napkins, plastic forks and spoons and cups. Why would this be a care package to a cancer patient. There people are crooks and have lawsuits by AG's all over the country. AZ and MI allow them to operate. Just giving you info found on the internet.
