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!
After their first call, and researching them on Google, I blocked them. Since then, they have called (as shown on my call log) four more times, including once at 8:30 AM. I used to donate to the American Lung [***]'n., but if they want to use these types of fundraising practices, they're permanently off my list .
I receive calls from the above number, 202-747-7305 (American Lung) at least three times a day. This is out of control!! We are on the "Do Not Call" list but this number interferes with our family time. This is harassment!! I would like for the calls to stop immediately.
They have called 9 times in the last few days. I have tried to tell them to stop calling but they have called 3 times since I told them to not call me again!
We can try filing complaints but it could take years before they take action.
I have gotten calls from at least 6 "charity" organizations in the last 2 weeks. Most are really scams. But it doesn't matter since I never give any money to any organization that calls me, and I would never give a penny to any legit organization that ignores what I tell them, no matter what it's for.
Follow-up. After days of multiple calls (all of which were blocked) I e-mailed them to tell them that I'd never donate to them again. They wrote back and said they'd remove my number from their list. The calls continue ... I've NEVER been harassed so much by one caller. Usually if there's no answer or it's obviously blocked they go away. Not these people. Anyone who works for this organization should be ashamed to be affiliated with people that use such tactics.
I know charities are exempt from the "Do Not Call" rules, but there must be some other way to force them to stop bothering me!
