BTW folks.... I also lock each offending call in my cell phone.  It keeps an indisputable record of the date, time, and frequency of each of these illegal calls.  

I swear, once I get my life together I AM writing to the attorney general.  These scammers call my cell so often, they should be forced to pay my cell phone bills and compensate me for the time I have to devote to attending to their demands and reporting them.  It's turning into a flipping full time job just dealing with their ccrap!

again....

Here's Indianapolis yellow pages off line for Childhood Lukemia & this phone number IS NOT one of theirs, so this caller is a scam outfit.
http://www.yellowpages.com/indianapolis-in/childhood-leukemia-foundation

Called  but didn't answerbecause of caller ID.

Since most cell phones have a limited/finite amount of space to ...er... " lock in " calls over any length of time  ( eg; the features of incoming/ outgoing/ missed calls which display the phone no.'s, time/ date ), I have found it less hassle to merely print out each months list of my cell records ..whether it's a snail-mailed itemized statement or viewing and printing from online account management.  

Especially if the calls persist over an extended period, like the pests associated at this, and many other B.S.  numbers which call.   Every cell phone I've met has a limited storage capacity for call info, but the records of the cell service provider can provide irrefutable proof simply as a normal statement for billing.

Thanks for all the relevant info u have posted ...u seem to be very well-versed in this area which is a benefit to the rest of us :)

Call just before 9am. Consistent with what others have said, asking for a 1 time donation to the Childhood Leukemia Foundation.

Caller ID is Childhood Leuke. It’s a landline in Indianapolis IN. Claimed to be the Childhood Leukemia Foundation, 4770 South Emerson Avenue, Suite C, Indianapolis IN 46203, 317-788-2600 Per CharityNavigator.org its a very small charity with assets of under $2 million. It has a very poor one star rating based on the percentage of monies raised going to those that it is intended for.  It has the lowest rating of any charity out there! Per CharityNavigator it looks like Childhood Leukemia Foundation does a lot of expensive advertising & fundraising & literally pays out half or more of what they take in to cover this. Their CEO or the person basically running this small charity takes a fairly hefty salary for such a small charity. Their salary is $140,000 a year & is around 6% of the total revenue for the charity.

I have the same complaint.  This is a scam.  They've called me 5 times so far within 24 hours...noone on the other end.  This is not a reputable business.They are calling day and night.

Called me left no message; tried calling back; it is the Childhood Leukemia Association.

I just read the back messages and it is clear that my answer has already been discovered. LOL Sorry

I used to work for the Childhood Leuklemia Foundation in Indianapolis. They are not a scam. If you ask to be removed they should remove you, if not you can call the FCC to report them. also there are alot of scams out there that call and say they are from the childhood leukemia foundation but are actually not!! those are the scams! which is not Childhood Leukemias fault! and the do not call law does not apply to Charities, so they are excluded. they are allowed to call by law from 8 a.m - 9 p.m. hope this helps.

I answered the call and no one answered back when I said "hello". If this is a solicitation or a survey please put this number 319-851-4822 on your do not call list. If you have business with me, feel free to call back again and I will try to answer. If the answering machine picks up please leave a message and a number to call back and I will do so as soon as I can. Thank you.

Keep getting calls from this number.  The first time I answered and nothing was said.  Now I just ignore them

They called before 9 am so they Do Not Care About Laws. Caller id said "Childhood Leke" (for lekemia). My calls are down to almost being non existent and this is how I made it happen.

When you file a worthless DNC complaint, the DNC puts your new fresh name at the top of the DNC list, which will help these jerks when they start adding new numbers to their robocall list. You'll have your fresh new phone number at the very top of their sucker list. DNC complaints from citizens are worthless and ineffective. I have stopped filing DNC complaints months ago. The answer to our common problem is using a hand held tape recorder and repetively tape the (disconnected/out of service) telephone tone/sound. The same one that telezaper uses and sells. I started using a repeated two minute recording of the same sound as telezapper and my calls have gone from an average of 4-10 calls a day, down to none to one per week, up until today.  I played this new jerk my nice new tape. They hung up in about 15 seconds. If their like past callers, they won't call back. It works. My last call before today 09/13/2012 was over a week and a half ago. This is how you do it. Have the tape already going before you answer the phone and continue playing it until they either hang up or you think that the tape is close to the end. If so then you hang up. They won't call back, I've proven it to myself already after just using it a few weeks. Prior to using it I've put up with over two years of these nusinance calls.

Try it, it works! Good luck.

Received a call @ 8:30 a.m. from Childhood Leukemia.  This is the second call from this # @ this time.  No message left.  Am on the DNC.  Annoying!

i receive a call from this number daily and hate it! i wish this would stop!

The national pandemic of telephone terrorism perpetrated by desperate criminal collection agencies and scam artists of every despicable sort is because they are trying to terrorize people who are naive enough to answer and submit to unsolicited telephone calls or written "collection" letters that have no legitimate legal debt associated with them or any of the companies, universities, or whomever else they claim to represent. Because most "little guys" were bankrupted by the criminal Wall St / Congress / Big Oil / Big Bankers / Big Business / Military / Robber Barons, so the desperate collection agencies are attempting to collect unpaid debts from innocent people by terrorizing them into submission. News reports claim that some of these nefarious rogue calls are originating from overseas, where the caller claims to be a relative down on his or her luck who needs hundreds or thousands of dollars to get out of trouble, a policeman or government agent threatening their unwitting victims with lawsuits, fines, garnishments, seizures of property and imprisonment, and any other unconscionable tactic they can use to terrify and swindle the unwary out of their life savings.

Word of advice. NEVER answer any calls you don't recognize or are not expecting. Use selective call rejection service if available, or switch to an Internet-based telephone service which provides comprehensive call rejection options. If rogue calls become chronic, turn off all the ringers on all of your phones except one, and set its volume to the minimum setting. Digital hardware call blockers, the popular "DIGITONE Call Blocker 10" for example, could help or do harm depending on how high-tech and aggressive the rogue callers are against your phone number. The more technology you use against them, the more likely they will use technology more aggressively against you to the point where your phone could ring more frequently from rogue calls and in middle of the night hours. So staying lower-tech could actually help to keep your phone a bit more under their unrelenting predatory radar. If you don't answer the call and the caller is legitimate, they will usually leave a voicemail after the first or second try. Rogue callers almost never leave voicemail messages because that could be used as evidence against them if it came to a lawsuit, albeit spoofed calls are backed by governments and corporations, so there is nothing the little guy can do against such illegitimate activities but to block and ignore them. If you receive a rogue letter in the mail warning you of some "collection" action against you, if you don't actually owe it, reply with a short letter stating that you don't owe it. Or if you do owe all or part of it, reply with something like "You claim I owe you a debt. Under §809 FDCPA, I request validation of this debt."

Only give them your name as THEY have written it to you (e.g. “John Doe” not “Jonathon Q. Doe” or however you normally sign your own name), address, and the account number they report. But if you do not owe the debt (zombie debt, aged debt, mistaken or stolen identity, forgery, etc.) state that you have never done any business with them or with the (alleged) original creditor of any kind and you expect the collection agency to close the matter, stop harassing you and take any bad credit marks they've caused off of your credit rating, and furthermore, that any further contact from them must be in writing on their official business correspondence letterhead. Send your letter to them a.s.a.p., always within thirty days, first class certified mail return receipt requested. If they refuse it and you get the letter back unopened, leave it unopened and save it in your files as evidence against them should they pursue legal action against you. If they did receive it and continue to pursue action against you, let them. The judge will throw it out of court. If the rogue collection agency sells your account to another rogue collection agency just tell them the claim has been proven invalid and offer to send them a copy of your letter to the previous rogue collection agency.

Warn all your friends about this rash of desperate collection agency terrorism, and how to combat it. Knowledge is power. The more you learn how to combat rogue collection agencies, back-taxes scammers, phishing scammers, "faith and family" scammers, political action committees and other low-life flimflammers, the more you will learn how easy it is to do.

Above all, keep a record of everything, of every rogue call w/ caller ID information displayed including time and date of each call. Maintain a complete file on any snail-mailed intimidation from rogue collection agencies, including copies of all correspondences and postal receipts. Reporting rogue calls on sites like 800notes.com, whocallsme.com, phoneowner.info is a great idea too, because many people find these sites by googling for the rogue number(s) after receiving calls from them.

Call several times a week - no-one on line.  Today I couldn't get my dial tone back for over a minute after hanging up several times.

Childhood Leukemia Society that's what they say, looking for tax deductable donations. Going to get gifts for the children they may not see another birthday. How much would you like to donate. I told them that we had a new cancer ward in my city and donated to them, she took that and hung didn't say thank you or nothing. That is when I looked up the number and posted their number in couple of web sites that had that had the number on the list
