We gota a call from this number again today at 6:51 pm, and it was again blocked by our call blocker. The caller ID was still CHILDRENS CANCE. We got a call from 857-776-3089 earlier today at 3:06 pm with the same caller ID, and it was also blocked by our call blocker.
Caller ID is # as "xxxxxxxxxx" instead of the default (xxx) xxx xxxx format. So they are trying to look vanilla, but have failed. They leave no message.
I call back after hours (using *67 to block my number). Their message identifies them as the "Children's Cancer Recovery Foundation Inquiry Line". There are 4 options:
1) Get more info
2) Do-Not-Call list (I never do this as it can make things worse).
3) Make a donation
4) To inquire about the status of a donation.
If they are a legitimate "foundation", and they very well could be, they don't seem to be all that concerned with reaching a person to solicit a donation from them. They've called 3 times today and each time they only let the phone ring twice. If they are a fraudulent foundation who are using children's cancer as a means to illegally solicit donations from unsuspecting citizens, then they are the lowest of the low and I pray they reap exactly as they have sown.
We got a call from this number yesterday twice, at 10:46 am and 12:43 pm, and didn't answer. The caller ID was CHILDRENS CANCE. No voicemail message was left. As JJ pointed out, they have also used 857-776-3089. Both numbers are for the Children's Cancer Recovery Foundation. According to one charity rating service, they have a two out of four star rating, and a score of 76.92 out of 100 (http://www.charitynavigator.org/index.cfm?bay=search.summary&orgid=6911). This new number will be added to our call blocker, as was the old one.
