I'm a reporter with Channel 7 News in Detroit, researching a story on Cancer Support Services. If you were solicited by this company, would you please call me at (248) 827-9466, or e-mail me at rjones@wxyz.com? I'm interested in talking to people regardless of their experience (positive or negative) with the non-profit .
Thanks,
Ross Jones

It was VERY hard to find any information about this 'charity'...not the first sign of a legit charity :-/ Called many times from a local number, but told to mail donation to another state (after requesting mailings...was asked to just forward without). I wonder why...
As others stated, shall forward my pledge to the American Cancer Society instead.

Came to this site to verify the company and glad I did. Thank you to services like this for helping the uninformed donor. No money from me!

They fooled me once...then I checked up on them. Needless to say I will give them nothing further. A true scam!

The Cancer Support Services contacted me at a vulnerable time. My father had just passed away from cancer, and my mother was ill and has since passed. I never heard of the charity prior to their phone solicitation. I promised minimal donation. I received multiple phone calls to remind me of the donation I had promised. It most likely cost more to make the calls than I will be sending.
I will be including a printout of their ratings with my check, along with the request that they do not contact me.

This organization is a disgusting shame to America and it's citizens. Any organization that collects over 11 Million dollars, spends 10 Million on itself and makes a 1Million dollar donation to another organization needs to be shutdown. They need to be stopped immediately. This makes lies and deceit 'just legal' enough to continue ripping off the American public. The ONLY reason I would give this company 1 star is to register this review.

I'm fed up with all charitible organizations that are using telemarketing practices to the degree it's harrassment! I no longer donate to anyone unless I personally recognize them and their standing within the rank & file of charities. Not only have they annoyed our family's privacy by constantly interrupting dinner, movie, etc., they've become downright rude with their insistence even after you've told them 'no'. We're a caring family and donate when we can, but this has destroyed our faith in the system. Telemarketing tactics have become so abusive to our privacy....so please JUST STOP!!!!!

I came to this site because I got a call from them and the number that was used ( 313-203-8198 )is listed under another organization. From my experience and what I have read here, I think they should be investigated carefully before donating and perhaps by law enforcement. For sure I would not trust them with a donation, there are too many other charities that seem more ethical.

I made the mistake of falling to CSS's guilt-tripping, persistent phone calls, and contributed to them. They call me constantly asking for more. Has anyone actually heard of anyone who received SUPPORT from this organization? Their website does not tell you how to seek their support if you have cancer. SCAM!!!!!!

Just received my second call in 2 weeks, after being asked to be removed from their calling list. They confirmed again that only 44% of funds raised goes to cancer patients. From everything I have read, this organization is unethical beyond inefficient, and preys on grief and fear to raise money. Absolutely shameful.
