617-245-9641

On my caller id the caller name came up as boston. I called the number back. It's the cancer fund of america.

the number 617 945 9641 is some kind of harrassment or scam or marketing call

they are non-responsive when i ask questions, perhaps i answer and catch them off-guard

PITA ! ! ! !

Hung up when my answering machine took the call. Caller ID said BOSTON 617-245-9641.  Called back and got a message that I called the 'customer service line for the cancer fund of America'.  Could be a scam, who knows.

Here is what I found:

The Better Business Bureau (BBB) is advising consumers to be wary of a Tennessee-based cancer charity, which is giving less than a penny of every dollar raised in direct aid to help people with cancer.

Cancer Fund of America solicits donations across the U. S., including locally, through telemarketers, direct mail and online. The BBB found that more than 99 percent of all cash donations to the organization pay professional fundraising costs, salaries for charity officials, consultant fees and other expenses related to the charity’s operations.

“The large gap between Cancer Fund of America’s cash donations and the portion ultimately benefiting cancer patients should be a concern for every potential donor,” said Paula Fleming, vice president of Communications and Marketing for BBB. “Even when compared to other nonprofits that rely heavily on professional fundraisers, the charity’s record is unsatisfactory and donors should know that only a fraction of their donation will provide any direct benefit to cancer patients or their families.

Please stop calling my number.  I participate in the Relay for Life and do what I can at that time.

They are also using phone number 617-245-9666. If you are at all negative and ask them to stop calling, they hang up immediately.

these people are harassing -- they've called every week now, and like someone else mentioned, as soon as you ask them to stop calling you, they cut the line.  can't we shut down these scams?!?

Call came in at 8:30 am and my answering machine picked up. They hung up.

This number calls me constantly.
