They call 2 3 times a 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.

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.

Caller transferred me to another man who said they were publishing a magazine that would contain articles about illnesses that affect Canadian veterans. It would be distribute to all hospitals and doctors. He wanted to mail me info so I could support this. What a crock! SCAM!

I just got a call from this company as well. A woman called and asked to talk to (last name). I said that they weren't in right now, she asked when she could call back. I asked who was calling, and she said her name was Alisha, and when she could call back. I asked for the name of the company, and she repeated that her name was Alisha and asked when she could call back. I said, "Ummm...next week?" and she responded with "Next week...okay." and then hung up. It was really weird and I hope I answer the phone the next time she call back, knowing what I now know.
