I got a call this morning -- once I answered the person said one, unintelligible, word and then hung up.

Received a call from this number on January 4, 2010 at 10:27 a.m. (CST).  The caller was extremely rude and would not get off the phone even though I explained to him that this was my business number and that I was busy.  I also explained to him that I donated to a variety of charitable causes and that I did not wish to contribute to his organization at this time.  He brushed me off by asking why I wasn't prepared to assist in leukemia research.  Without question this was the rudest solicitation for funds that I have received in a very long time.  Also, I'm in Saskatchewan and I don't understand why the solicitation is coming from Calgary, Alberta!

This number called me this morning and I did not answer. I have received a call in the past from this number where I was pressured to donate and made to feel guilty about not donating. I asked to be placed on their do not call list which clearly did not happen.

It's basically a scam. Most of the money does not go to Charity at all. And some of it winds up lining the pockets of it's founder. Here's an article detailing the whole scam this guy is running from the Toronto Star. Makes me sick that they try to make you feel guilty about not helping kids when they have no intention of using your money to do that anyway.

i have money for leukemia kids

I received a HANG UP call from this number.  That only makes me NOT want to donate to their "charity".  Are they a legitimate charity?  I checked out the web site.  Very little info on the site.  I emailed them and said such calls are a total turn off.  Is it offshore telemarketers who have no manners?  Are they american telemarketers who are just plain rude?  the number on call display means nothing.  I have received other hang up calls and when i call back I get "this number is not in service".  How can that be?  the scammers are obviously smarter with technology than I am.  Or maybe i an just too honest and polite.

I received a call today, and the rude insistant man on the line said he was raising funds for Lukemia research.  After listening to his speal, and telling him I don't give information on the phone, but said if he mailed it to me I'd look, he tried to tell me I he wasn't getting through to me.Anyway, with his attitude, and the google history of this number, I believe that it is a scam number being used.  I would advise not to give money to this phone number.
