I received two calls at home from this number. They asked for me by name, then hung up. They just called my office phone number, but there was no one on the line. They hung up as soon as I answered.
I am a donor, and do get calls pretty often, but they usually leave a message either confirming an appointment or mentioning an upcoming drive in my area. I have had the same girl call, and she doesnt realize it is my machine, and starts asking me questions, and then latest message is just her heavy mouth breathing. Nothing like the NY Blood Center calls I used to get.
Called on 07/10/2013 @ 07:24 pm from Staten Island, NY. Caller ID shows DIALER. That tells me call is from a telemarketer and we let it go to voicemail. If it is NY Blood Center and they keep changing the Caller ID based on whether they are making the calls themselves or using a telemarketer, they are loosing out. If they choose not to leave a message, which they never do, again it's their loss.
Two lessons here.
Giving blood is important and something all healthy people should do.
Don't make us guess who's on the other end of the phone when 90% of my daily calls are scams. We don't answer if I don't know the caller. Leave a message or at least use appropriate Caller ID.
I know, the weekly calls can be annoying but there must be a a need in the community for a Specific blood type if they are calling. I just thank goodnees we dont need the blood.
Its the new york blood center. i give blood once in a while, providing it is safe and timely to do so. however, they r wasting resources by calling me so much. i blocked the number. i see the voicemails.
