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.

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

called when we were not home.' bc pub' came up on caller id]

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.

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.

Reading the previous messages, I now realized that I have been a ''fool'' (for 3 years)  believing the caller wanted money for CHILDREN'S BOOKS. I had been asking for receipts to no avail !!!! My husband took the call today asking who was calling and could he take a message. Their comment: '' Will call another time " Fortunately I have a call display and decided to check the number to find these comments.  Waiting  for the next caller.  Thank You.
