Received a call from them here in Saskatchewan this morning. Still scamming, I see. This time though it started as a recording. "Due to the..." (click - I hung up)

Got 17 calls from this number - called it back and it's the Children's Leukemian Foundation.

As a mother who of a child with leukemia, I was very disgusted to hear that one of my co-workers received a call from this number, and was very rude to her.  He phoned last year, and rudely insisted that perhaps her donation would be enough to find a cure, after she repeatedly told him that she donates to other charities, and is not interested.  He made her feel very guilty for not donating.  Plus, you should NEVER donate over the phone.  He phoned again a few days ago, and again was very rude.  I've been dealing with my daughter's illness for 2 years now, and have never heard of this foundation in Alberta.  I do see that there is a foundation of that sort in Ontario, but I have no idea how legit that is either from the information that I've read on their website.  They don't give you a contact number, only a number to call to donate.  Their donation form only has an address, no phone number.  Whatever you do NO DO DONATE ANYTHING over the phone.

I have been getting calls from this number. How do we block it??

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.http://www.thestar.com/News/Canada/article/273350
