They called me last night. They are a magazine, that says they are a charity. They call themselves "Community Drug Awareness".  I told them to remove my number from their calling list as I don't support companies that solicit business over the phone, AND my number is on the National Do-Not-Call registry.   Definitely something shifty going on. I hope they didn't get money out of anyone!  If people want to raise awareness about drug abuse they'll support their local schools not some magazine out to make money for itself!!! What a scam!

After they call, dial *57.  This will trace the number with sasktel.  Write down the date and time as well.  Do this 5 times in a row and then you can then file a complaint with the police.  That is what I am doing, hopefully if enough people do this we can get the police to investigate them.

This is not a community/drug magazine.  Everything about this indicates it is some kind of a fraud.

I’m a Toronto journalist seeking more information on people making these calls/ claiming to represent this company. Can anyone who has had contact with them send me an email at emathieu @ thestar.ca
Thank you, Emily Mathieu

Called this evening. The girl on the other end claimed she was from "Community Drug Awareness". Thanked me for a donation I never made in 2009, went into a lengthy spiel about how drug pushers are contaminating the food we buy with crystal meth, and got very pushy trying to get me to donate to the cause. Even correctly identified me by name and address, though anyone could have harvested that information from the phone book. Sounds like a scam to me.

Phoned again did not leave a message or name.
