FOX NEWS is reporting that over $187 million raised by cancer benefit foundations has ended up in the personal pockets of James T. Reynolds Sr., his ex-wife and son. The Cancer Fund of America in Knoxville, Tennessee, and its affiliated
Cancer Support Services; The Breast Cancer Society in Mesa, Arizona; and
the Children's Cancer Fund of America in Powell, Tennessee were the principal "fronts" for the scam.
Like you probably did, I donated some of my hard-earned money to one of these "charities" which hired telemarketers to collect $20 donations from people across the
country, telling consumers that they provided financial aid and other
support to cancer patients, including pain medication, transportation to
chemotherapy visits and hospice care. I was even shamed into it: "How can you turn your back on these unfortunate women during Breast Cancer Awareness month?" I stopped donating last year after I learned that little of the organization's revenues were reaching the intended recipients.
It's kind if like what has been going on with the Clinton Foundation, isn't it?

It is very sad to know that all the money that comes from people that really care about cancer's victim are going to their own pocket. I also received their calls after I know this, so I hung up and blocked their numbers. Feeling not enough, I also report their numbers to FTC and http://whycall.me, so that they will never scamming us again!
