I apologize for the frustrations that people posting these messages are experiencing. I am the Executive Director of The Arc and we are responsible for the calls that you are getting. In May 2013 we got a new predictive dialer. We are trying to work out the bugs with it such as hanging up on people when they answer the phone and the # 319-7155 not being an active number to call back on. The dialer is set to call phone numbers in our system 2-4 times per call cycle or until someone answers the phone. Our cycles are set per area every 4-6 weeks.
As we are a nonprofit agency we are exempt from the Do Not Call List. We do respect the wishes of people in our calling areas; therefore if you would like us remove to your name and number from our dialer for any reason please call us at 208-343-5583.
Every 1-2 years we do add numbers back into the system because people change phone numbers and we want to capture as many numbers as we can to increase donations coming in the door. All donations go back into The Arc providing supports and services to people with intellectual and developmental disabilities.
Then get a real job. But that's a tough thing to expect of scum like you isn't it? So keep on giving charities a bad name. Nobody in their right mind donates over the phone anymore, and it's because of you and your fellow crooks and morons in the charity fraud business.
You losers who are complaining about this call, its the ARC, (which I just learned now going to the webpage), which is a very reputable organization helping those in need. I just got a call and looked up on-line who was calling and saw all these posts. It's on a dialer system, which means a computer dialed the call, so if you don't answer in time, it does just hang up. ARC doesn't leave messages because once they leave a message, I think, not sure but, they are not allowed to call back for a couple of days. It looks like from the Executive Director Lisa that posted above said they are having some issues....give them a break and give them a chance to work out those issues. Believe me or not if this was a sales call I would be all over it. I appreciate Lisa/ARC making this notation so I know now who is calling and I won't block the number. Sorry Lisa that you have to deal with these ignorant people. Sometimes, ignorance can be greater than kindness. They just need to understand that it is not a SALES call so the ARC is exempt from that DO NOT CALL list and maybe they will learn just how to block the number if they don't want calls. Again Lisa, thanks for posting to this site so people that actually do care will know not to block the number. Oh and one last thing for you ignorant people, I have never met this lady and I bet she is really nice considering the work that she does. Learn to Deal or block your number!!!! You Jokers....,
