Just received a bill from these scammers requesting payment for a "directory listing" I've never even heard of. Did some research on them and as it turns out they are based here in Vancouver. I've seen the building and it's a hole in the wall that almost looks like it used to be a house. NO ONE has never heard of them at the local medical services offices or has even seen this "magazine".Using the "poor sick kids" sob story to take money from people. All I did was a bit of research and discovered they're all over the place going by different names when people catch on.Those women calling should be ashamed.

They called our business many time asking for exchange in services, so we give them free services and they put an add in the lawyers magazine that is worth more than the service we will give them ( just to make it so attractive) i searched to find they are scam, DO NOT RESPOND TO " BC Pub Sectors" or phone # (604) 482-3100 THEY ARE SCAM.

For several years I've given $ to this charity that uses the donations to purchase books for sick/injured...(hospitalized??) children; but I'm not so sure it's as 'legit' as I'd like to think. A word of warning to those of you who don't want to commit to their 'cause' for the long term; they'll call you every year for as long as you use the phone number at which they reach you. I hope that I'm wrong, and that kids DO benefit from this becauseI've been giving ~ $45 per year for close to ten years.

They are now calling for pledges to child find / identification be aware

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

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.
