I have been getting phone calls from these people from 877-202-5429 claiming to be returning my calls to contribute to their cause. Except the idiots keep calling me by another name that I am not.  Shaun Benham is the person they keep asking for then refuse to stop until they are allowed to talk to him. Guess what he don't live or own this phone number. They have been told that they can find him at the CLC College at Brainerd, Minnesota. He's in the Law Enforcement classes there and giving false information out. What a person to become a Cop!!!!

    I'm getting calls from this number every morning and evening.  They start at 8:00am.  When i try to pick up to tell them to please go away, there is no one there.  It is an automated call.  There is no human being on the other end and I can see no way to stop this harassment.

    I was working a nite shift and got woken up by these guys, agreed to send 20.00 if they sent a donation card. Stupid I know, wasn't thinking straight. I know it's a scam, not gonna send them any $ but is there a 'do not call list' for unwanted fake charities?

    I got a call from this number last night. They were asking for help with a donation to Breast Cancer and/or help with mailing out pledge cards. I told them I was diagnosed with Brest Cancer just a few days ago and as much as I wanted to donate I was unable to since I was only working part time since being laid off over a year ago. All I got was a well thank you and have a nice night. I didn't even get a I'm sorry to hear that or good luck with your treatment. The woman I spoke with could have shown some compassion. Instead she was totally heartless.

      Hi Melissa
      I got this stupid call too, no one there! REALLY!
      I'm also a recent stage 3 breast cancer survivor. (55 on Oct 21 :)
      I am truely sorry you found out about having breast cancer.  
      I remember the first 3-4 weeks of finding out, stay steady, stay strong~ There is so many wonderful people, groups, programs, hospitals & doctors that will help you along the way.  I hope you have family & friend to take this journey with you.  You can call # 1883 me if you need an up beat "you can do it" attitude.  
      Sometimes you may want to talk to someone that does'nt know you but will make a good difference in how you think & feel about going through breast cancer.
      All the best to you~ Diana

      Kind regards,
      Cathy

    This number, 877-202-5429 just called me. Asked for Malik and when I said I wasn't home they said they had no message and would call back, then quickly hung up before I had a chance to say anything back...like TAKE ME OFF YOUR FARGIN' LIST!!!

    Sigh. They should all be locked up. DND list is useless. The laws are useless. And phone co charges to block numbers. What a scam. All of it.

    Same call, woman was very rude when I told her I had my own health problems that I couldn't afford. She told me, "these women are dying. I will send you a pledge card and you can put 20 bucks in it." I told her "I guess I could go with out my meds for a month, ---- but that could kill me. So NO" Sure miss the old phones that you could slam down!

    What do they think about calling the older people? I'm so sick of this call. I'm on the Do Not Call list.

    8 AM no one on he line at first; then a nasty voice asks "Is Eileen there?"  I say "Who's calling?"  No answer for about 10 seconds, then disconnect..very annoying.

    I get these calls and when the automated voice starts, I just push 9. This is usually the button for 'do not call'. You have todo this with each number, though. My scam calls have cut down tremendously.

    The Do Not Call list only works for legal businesses. Therefore, the ones still calling are scams. When you're on the list, but still get a call, it's a scam. They're not following the Do Not Call law because they are illegal organizations trying to steal your money. Make sense? If you are on the list, the *only* calls you get are scams. Do not answer. Do not talk to them. Do not call them back.

    This 877 202 5429 left a messsage saying he was Jay Leipzig with a tax tip, something about donating to avoid paying taxes. He said he was at a retreat and if he didn't answer his phone he was in a meeting so, leave a message. He'd get back to me. Right. ... So, he's on a fishing retreat, eh?

    There's a website set up with the phone number he said to call and a bunch of other scammy stuff. Oh, brother! Let's be careful out there.

    My caller ID just shows "800 SERVICE", so I have blocked the number.
