Called and didn't pick up-they didn't leave a message. Seriously, if they want us to keep donating they might want to stop calling at all times! In my opinion these people aren't Non-Profit if they pull this crap. I still believe that no one should be exempt from the Do Not Call List!
Caller I.D. says American Lung [***]... D**n give it up already. Feb. 6th 3:03pm, 7th 3:21pm, 11th 9:35am and 2:21pm, 12th 9:54am and 12:45pm, 13th 9:39am and 12:17pm again at 2:48pm, 14th 1:30pm, 15th 10:22am and 12:49pm, 16th 10:20am and 12:53pm. That's 14 times so far, what is so important to call that many times, no message. Making good use of the non-profit exemption form DNC. Put the phone on block after the fourth call. Best thing is the phone will still record the caller and number. No profit here.
They also call from (630) 491-0178 and (758) 358-9546. I have a suspicion it's not really American Lung but a scam. They've been calling me since Dec of last year, and ALWAYS at night when I'm trying to unwind OR when I'm expecting a really important phone call.
Never any message and I never picked up, not even to tell them not to call me. Whether it's a legit charity (if so they are exempt from Do Not Calls) or a scam, I don't want to talk them.
Copying what I just wrote under another number they called so it at least gets documented for what its worth. As noted in Victoria's entry its a pain when expecting important calls. If they truly are non-profit how much does it cost for them to be using all these numbers(?)
From 626-544-5518 entry: "I listed under another entry the multiple numbers - specifically 6 calls - 5 different number in 3 days from American Lung Association. Numbers they use:: 630-491-0178, 202-747-7305, 202-747-7305, 971-256-5533, 786-358-9546 (just got call from this one few mins ago), They call several times a day - each a different number. As I noted in other entries, been getting rings once or twice and then hangs up before answering machine picks up so it could be them or another telemarketer. Some calls are minutes apart but different number. Note also, callerid shows diff spelling/abbrev for American Lung Association."
Multiple calls all hours but stops after 10 pm.
Did some skip tracing.
202-747-7305 thru 202747 7330 and higher = (VOIP)
Belong to a telemarketing group known as Strategic Fundraising calling for American Lung Association.
GLOBAL CROSSING TELEMANAGEMENT, INC.-DC Washington, DC.
I tried calling the number pressing 2# the 2# and entering 202-747-7305 (10 digit phone number)
Usually it will then take your number off call list.
I tried with three different numbers didn't work with this group.
Just got another call. Live Body! They said my first name I said take me off - Call Disconnected.
Frustrating!
