"According to the complaint, the defendants used the organizations for lucrative employment for family members and friends, and spent consumer donations on cars, trips, luxury cruises, college tuition, gym memberships, jet ski outings, sporting event and concert tickets, and dating site memberships. They hired professional fundraisers who often received 85 percent or more of every donation.
Named in the federal court complaint are ... The Breast Cancer Society Inc. (BCS)"
Received a call from this number. Female asked for 'John.' I replied that I was sorry, but she had the wrong number. She responds, "Oh, I have the right number, but the wrong name." Then she says she's calling from the Breast Awareness Center and before she could say anything else, I told her I wasn't interested and hung up. Strangest wrong number call I have ever received.
Professional fund raiser for a breast cancer awareness center. She asked for me, and started in on her "pre-written" speech, when I asked her to stop, she kept reading so I hung up.
I received a call from this number as well. When I told the caller that I wasn't interested in donating by phone and was mid-sentence in asking her where she got our family's name (she originally asked for my husband), she hung up. I tried several times to reach someone by calling the number back, but couldn't get a person on the line. The directory and operator options on the voice mail system were not functioning... I got a fast busy each time I tried to dial zero or an extension. I am suspicious.
Not sure if this is a scam or not. Does not sound like a professional caller at all. They have called several people in my family....kinda ironic don't you tank?
I get calls also from this number saying they are with the breast research center. I just hang up, they won't give you a chance to even say not interested. This is a scam. Just hang up on them it's that simple.
