'Was expecting a call, and answered my land line without checking the caller ID. Female said name was Toni (I think) and said she was glad not to get "another answering machine". Caller asked if she could send me information and an envelope to contribute to "Women's Cancer Fund" (ID said Women's Cancer). I explained I already give to cancer research, because my mother died of cancer. She went right on, asking if I couldn't give "just $20"... I said, I just said No -- didn't you realize that? She insisted this money was needed so badly... I said, more firmly, "I have now said No two times and now I would like for you to remove my number from your call list!" She hung up, without agreeing to remove my name from their list. I searched for the phone number and that brought me here as well as another website where I saw a report very similar to what I have written here -- especially re: caller being glad not to get another answering machine.
