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.

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

This number has called me 6 or 7 times, a few times I got hung up on after answering. They always want to talk to my husband when they do actually talk to us, on the one occasion they did get him they wanted thank him for being a supporter for the Community Drug Awareness in the past when he told them that he never donated to them and we don't donate to people over the phone they hung up. But that has not stopped them from calling us, I had a several conversations with them about this and when "we have never donated to you so you have the wrong people"  or " look this isn't the first time you have called us" is said they hang up on us. I hope this is the only phone number they use cause my phone has a caller block feature and I am using it.

Have received 2 calls in the last week...no one on the other end..I called it back..and it said that the message inbox was full.  ?????

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!

Got a call just today, lots of noise in the background. Woman asked to talk to my wife. I said she wasn't in and might I ask who was calling. The woman didn't respond, even after I asked who was calling again, and then hung up on me.
