*Children's Safety Study Books*

They call 2 3 times a day .

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

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.

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.

Been getting this number on my call display last couple days so seached and read posts here. Finally answered the call tonight. Could barely understand the lady. I asked for their website adress because all legit charities have website and she hung up on me.
