We have received calls from this number 4 times (so far) within 2 days. The caller ID: BREAS CANCER AM. We did not answer. No message was left. I looked up the organization: Breast Cancer Charities of America on the Better Business Bureau web site. It is a ". . . tax-exempt under section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. It is eligible to receive contributions deductible as charitable donations for federal income tax purposes." However, according to the BBB info, the organization ". . . has not responded to written BBB requests for information or has declined to be evaluated in relation to BBB Standards for Charity Accountability. " I suspect the calls are robo-calls and will continue to ignore them. I have found information indicating that only 20% of funds donated to the organization actually go to the charity, with 80% going to the professional fundraisers who are hired to make fund raising calls for them. I am indicating the call type is: Telemarketer since most of the money goes to a professional fundraising business and not to the charity.
