children's cancer recovery foundation
Don't recall
Soliciting for monies.
I got a call from this number who claimed to be representing a Cancer Recovery business soliciting funds for various cancer support programs around the US.
As I always do, I asked what percentage of my actual donation would make it to the organization they are collecting for and was told 20% of their proceeds will be donated to the organizations and the rest (80%) is used support their own administrative costs.
I politely advised that 100% of the money I give goes to the same organizations when I donate directly. The lady on the line hung up before I could advise that I'm also on a do not call list with the Federal and State levels. So I called back and advised (via voice mail)
1. my phone number
2. that I was on the state and federal do not call list and
3. would refer their organization to the state attorney general, the FTC AND the Better Business Bureau if I received any further calls.
