Received a call from this number today. It shows up at "BC Pub Sectors" on caller display. I normally don't answer calls with different area codes but as this was showed up with an actual name I figured why the heck not? When I answered a lady asked if "last name" was there. I asked her to repeat herself and she simply asked once again for someone in the household by our last name. Not "Mr. Lastname" or "Mrs. Lastname". Just simply: "Is "Lastname" there?" And she continued on to explain what she was calling for. I could not understand a word. She spoke too quickly and with an accent too thick for me to understand. Eventually I was put on hold with some interesting classical music. Having no idea what it was about I hung up. Reading these comments I'm glad I didn't stay on the line.

I keep getting these unwanted calls from various different numbers.  I work Midnight's so I am often woken up by annoying calls during the day.  

For a few years now I have been called by this charity. I have donated twice and the last time I got an invoice/receipt that stated in fine print that it was not a registered charity so there'd be no tax receipt or something like that. I was called in December and told that now they'd only be calling every two years...would I like to increase my donation to, presumably, cover the two years? They suggested an amount that was about 4 times more than I was willing to donate (can't remember the exact amount). I said I couldn't afford what they suggested. The woman hesitated but said whatever I could donate would be fine. I got the invoice/donation sheet in the mail that had the amount of $175 or something like that in the "please pay" box. I was so annoyed I didn't send any donation. I've been receiving calls every single day for weeks that never leave a message. I would like to know whether this is a legitimate charity.

A vancouver bc based telemarketer looking for money for children's books.    Supposedly a charity.
