These morons call every three to four days, occasionally twice a day. I pickup the phone, then hang up on them immediately - they aren't good with hints.
A big thank you to those that make these types of sites available; to give us a forum to speak out and assists others with hope of ending this nightmare.
This one called.. and was breathing on the phone, like she was a telemartketer, and didn't want to make the next call. Google search said it was Dial america.. telemarketers for magazines
This marketing group says they got my name from a magazine I subscribe to, and named the magazine. That is very odd because I never put my actual phone number on anything like that-- I use an online VM at k7.net.
They claimed they were "helping out" Mothers Against Drunk Driving by raising money for them. when I asked how much their company was going to donate, the rep corrected my misunderstanding: THEY weren't giving any money, they wanted ME to give it. Since they aren't "helping" and are getting paid for their "help," I declined to participate until they do.
To be absolutely fair, the rep NEVER tried to pull anything like the frequent scammers I get calls from. This is a legit marketing group.
The callers have no idea if the company donates money to the cause, nor do they know how much the call center takes out of the donation for their time.
I never give to charity from a cold call, the call centers usually get more than 50% of the money raised. If you want to donate to a charity, call that charity personally or go to their website to donate.
These call centers are for hire, they make calls for thousands of different companies or charities, it isn't just a call center for one business.
I dont mind Dial America calls. In my opinion, they are a reputable organization... They hire people with disabilities and they support charitable fundraising for The American Cancer Society, Special Olympics, etc... But they always call multiple times EARLY in the morning. We work late and this has proven to be a real pain in the butt. I've had to ask them to remove my phone number... too bad.
