Woman said, "Hi, can I speak to Marysia?"  I hung up.  Phone id was "Boston"

This is telemarketing for "Cancer Fund of America". They use numbers from your local area, but, they are based in Tennessee. They supposedly raise money for low income cancer patients. 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.

Cancer fund of America is a scum bag outfit that takes in a LOT of money and pays out VERY LITTLE of what they get and if you Google them you will see they are and have been sued by numerous states over this fraud.
