The heart research foundation is calling for donations, thats whats this number is

The legitimacy of the call asking for cancer society donations is questionable, as it felt uncomfortable to share credit card details with an unknown person over the phone

The persistence of these calls is frustrating, with requests for donations that seem dubious, particularly when the caller claims to represent a reputable organization like the Cancer Society, only to switch to the Heart Foundation in a subsequent call, suggesting a scam.

Despite their claim of not selling a product or service, they wanted to provide an update on their work, which is perplexing since I have no prior engagement with the organization and am unsure how they obtained my contact information.

I received a call about cancer research donations – the message was neutral, just an ask for support.

Repeated calls from this number were followed by an automated message from the Cancer Society when returned

This number is associated with the Heart Foundation

Despite explicitly stating a lack of interest and completing a survey with the option to not be contacted, this number continues to call, with the caller changing the last digits of their number after being blocked

From the outset, it was clear that the call was regarding donations, and a polite decline was the most suitable response.
