Got a call from this number - I know of no one in MI who would be calling me.  I did not answer, let the fax machine answer the call, and then looked it up.

Got a call

Yes, this is from the "Breast Cancer Foundation.  They trick you into pretending that you made a donation last year and are asking for your support again.  They call like 3-4 times a day and I don't answer.  I finally answered and told them to leave me alone and take my number off their list.  Sometimes they try to trick you and call from a different number!!!

Received a call several months ago from the The Breast Cancer Foundation and I agreed to give them a donation but asked them to send me an envelope.  I realized later that this was probaby not legit and decided to ignore the envelope when it came.  I have now been receiving 2-3 calls per day from different unknown numbers, one of them being 248-996-1997.  I haven't answered but tried to return the call and I get "this number has been disconnected."  How can that be when they just called from that number?  It's so annoying!!!

Go to charity navigator dot com. The non-profit site lists and rates charities and uses their non-profit tax reports to provide info about total donations, expenses, employees, etc.

Charity Navigator helps you identify many of what I call "charity mills" --  somebody who generates huge donations for yank-your-heartstring causes and keeps 98% of the money for administrative purposes.

You'd be surprised what you can find there. Churches, medical foundations, military charities, etc. Many legit ones get high ranking for using the incoming dollars for the stated purpose.

What really annoys me is that TD Bank has been selling my information to a bunch of non-bank related solicitors who send me junkmail (I can tell -- because they list my name the same incorrect way that TD Bank lists my name on ITS mailings).
