Block the number immediately to stop unwanted calls. Never share personal or financial info with callers claiming to represent a breast cancer charity unless you’ve verified the organization through official channels. These scams often use familiar names like United Breast Cancer Foundation to create urgency and request small donations, then disappear with the money.
