Review for Cancer Support Services Inc, Brentwood, TN, USA

Rating: 1 stars  

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.

Review for Cancer Fund of America, Inc., Mesa, AZ, USA

Rating: 1 stars  

I just got a message from someone who said they were from "Cancer Support Services". They get money from people and they ship free supplies to cancer patients at 60 different hospices. That's what she said. But much of what she said didn't make sense and when I looked up the phone number, 313-203-8198, I found this listing for Cancer Fund of America, Inc. In looking at the other reviews, it seems pretty clear to me the ones that are positive about the organization are fake. My advice is to steer clear of this organization, or check into the details before you trust they are going to do what they say. They have a large operation and I doubt a large percentage of the money they collect is ever sent to patients. Even if it is, I fear they are also charging medicare and double-dipping. Check them out before donating. There are other, more transparent charities.
