Caller: Melanoma Research Foundation Answered and had that typical 5 second delay of silence before an automated voice said "You've been contacted by the Melanoma Research Foundation". It then went to a musical 'on hold' sound and that's when I hung up. Not gonna listen to more scamming dingbats drone on. Keep in mind the true legit AUSTRALIAN Melanoma Research Foundation (AMRF) don't cold call... The scammers conveniently leave out the word Australian in their business title.
Copied from AMRF website: The Australian Melanoma Research Foundation (AMRF) has been made aware of a fundraising raffle campaign by another organisation with a similar name. This has caused much confusion. The AMRF does NOT solicit donations by phone, by post or in person. All fundraising activities by the AMRF are with reputable and licensed organisations.
And here's a copy that someone else got from the AMRF website in December 2019: TELEPHONE SCAM WARNING The Australian Melanoma Research Foundation has been made aware of a phone scam in which the caller poses as a representative of the AMRF and asks for credit card or bank details. Please be aware that this is NOT a genuine operation. The AMRF does not cold-call for donations by phone or in person. All fundraising activities by the AMRF are with reputable and licensed organisations
